It's already November, which means the Ohio High School Athletic Association's football playoffs are about to being!
The regular season gave us plenty of thrills and great performances, many of which were featured on WKYC.com as our High School Football Games of the Week. With the postseason getting under way, 3News will continue to feature one live game per week on our website, our app, and our Facebook and YouTube pages, as well as show highlights on our newscasts and online.
In addition, we have compiled a comprehensive list of each first round matchup featuring teams in our viewing area. All local squads are written in bold below.
