That is a good question and alot of us know the OHSAA makes some crazy choices sometimes ... If Big Red and IC made the playoffs for a second round game .. It would be crazy to go to New Philly .. That place is small and its an hour drive by two team that live next to each other .. My guess would be Martins Ferry .. Its alot bigger than New Philly and it has turf and plenty of standing room as ten tousand people atleast wouyld attend the game ... It will happen someday .....
Id like greedy OHSAA to change the format to the higher seed getting a home playoff game in the 1st 3 rounds and then play at a neutral site in semis and championship game ... That wouldnt just mean that the #1 seed would have a home game for three rounds it also means that a lower seeded team could get a 3rd round game at home etc etc the possibities are endless .. All the money goes to the people of Canton and Massillon as they hold 20 playoff games a year .. IMO somebodies palmes are getting greased and have for years ... They kept adding playoff games even though schools are consolidating .. Its all about money .. i believe the OHSAA is as corrupt as any political party.. think about it ... Buy a playoff program in the 1st 3 rounds .. its 2 sheets of paper .... They used to have great programs in the lower rounds atleasst info on all the teams in that particular division and attendanec records and other nice little reads .. i can go on ,but that subject deserves another thread title.
