Thought this was pretty cool. It's newspaper clippings of All-Ohio teams dating back to 1933 (and girls and boys basketball as well).

What a great resource and reference.

Seems that if you weren't from Massillon, Mansfield or a select few other cities pre-1950, you had no chance of being All-Ohio. How about the 1940 year, when all 11 offensive starters for Massillon were named All-Ohio.

All-Ohio sure has changed over the years too. Used to be 11 per team (offense only), now it's 3 or 4 players at every position, a first, second, third team, offense and defensive teams...and special and honorable mention.

Pretty sweet!

Just remember that there were other news outlet at the time that posted their own all state selections.

man,
I know UPI used to do this as well.

Are you talking other outlets as well?

There was INS and a few others besides the AP and UPI.

I also noticed on there that in some years they only have the small school list and omitted the big schools.

I don't see my name, must be a mis-print.
