Not much "contact" permitted before the games start. Looks like the OHSAA would want a little more contact to get kids ready for what they'll endure in a game.

I agree. It seems to get later every year. Teams with established patterns from middle school up will gain from this. Not much more to learn but speed and execution. Too bad, spread offenses will possibly suffer because it takes awhile to get the timing down. BUT, 3 yds and a cloud of dust, u gotta like it!!
