CLEVELAND — We're in the thick of the Ohio High School Athletic Association football playoffs, and 75 teams from WKYC's 17-county viewing area remain alive on the road to Canton.
There were a few big upsets during the opening round last Friday, especially Division IV, where 13th-seeded West Holmes knocked off Unioto and 4-seed Clearview was routed by Napoleon. For the most part, however, the favorites took care of business.
Now we enter the second round, the final slate of games to be featured at the better-seeded team's home stadiums (unless otherwise noted). All matchups will kick off at 7 p.m. (again, unless otherwise noted), with teams in our area listed in bold.
