Little choice if you were going to have fans available at the game.

And playing Hoban at Massillon will not be much help for Massillon

If for covid reasons, Franklin County has 53 cases a day per 100,000 people and Stark County 59 cases per day per 100,000. This is truly the year of the Idiot. Unbelievable doing this one day prior to games. The Shepherd in the governors mansion is truly off his rocker along with the county officials.

True. Dewine did not want a season it was husted that got it started. All of its ridiculous. How do you start basketball season after. I don’t see it. But football had to make it 3 more days that’s it.

I agree it is ridiculous but they are trying at least. I say just cancel them all. It’s a “home game” for us now not that we wouldn’t come to Ironton if we could

It sucks for ironton to get this notice 48 before a game but kirtland or any other team cant help what just happened. But there are other counties around Columbus. To keep it kind of center state. Oh well 2020 strikes again lol

I agree it sucks. I say just cancel them that way no one can complain about anything other than them being cancelled. I’d imagine it’s hard to get a stadium last minutes notice but idk how that works

This is the press release from the OHSAA




OHSAA Moving Football Championships to Massillon Washington This Weekend

New Franklin County health advisory prevents games from being played at Fortress Obetz



COLUMBUS, Ohio – Due to a new health advisory issued by the Franklin County Department of Health and the Columbus Department of Health Wednesday afternoon that recommends the games not be played in Franklin County, the Ohio High School Athletic Association is moving this weekend’s football state championship games to Paul Brown Tiger Stadium in Massillon, which has offered to host all six games. The games were scheduled to be played at Fortress Obetz in southeast Columbus.



The schedule remains the same as announced Wednesday, with games on Friday and Saturday at 1:15 and 6:15 and then Sunday at 12:15 and 5:15. Of note, in the Division II title game, Akron Archbishop Hoban High School has agreed to play Massillon Washington on Massillon’s home field. The OHSAA has now designated Hoban as the home team in the game.



The decision came Thursday morning after discussions with officials at Obetz and Franklin County. The OHSAA met virtually with the 12 finalist schools at 11:30 a.m. to inform them and answer questions.



“Completing this weekend’s state championship games is very important to the schools, student-athletes and communities, so we felt strongly about finding a place to play,” said OHSAA Executive Director Doug Ute. “These 12 schools just want to play and we thank them for accepting this change. We would also like to especially thank Massillon Washington High School for stepping up to host, and also Hoban for agreeing to play there.”



Paul Brown Tiger Stadium served as a host of the OHSAA football state championships from 1990 through 2013.



“This is a big change at the 11th hour, but Massillon Washington can accommodate these games and the number of fans that are permitted to attend,” said Beau Rugg, OHSAA Senior Director of Officiating and Sport Management and the OHSAA’s football administrator. “We are pleased to be playing football this weekend and are excited that these 12 schools will be able to finish their seasons.”



The Franklin County and Columbus health advisory recommends a pause on all extra-curricular activities for schools and asks all persons to be home by 6 p.m.



“Fortress Obetz was excited to host these games and we appreciate all the work that they put into preparations,” Ute said.

Akron Hoban and Massillon saved the state finals. The Kneelers in central ohio screwed this up. Hopefully Desales gets pounded too

Manning up ? It's a 23 mile drive and takes 35 minutes to get there. I wouldn't say a home field would discourage Hoban in the least.
