Buchtel athletic director/football coach placed on administrative leave

Akron Public Schools has placed Buchtel athletic director and football head coach Bryan Williams on administrative leave. Williams did not coach in last week's game when host Buchtel beat Garfield 14-6 in overtime at Tim Flossie Stadium, and he is not set to be on the sidelines at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, when Buchtel plays East in a Week 10 game at Kenmore Stadium. " Akron Public Schools can confirm that the athletic director and head football coach at Buchtel High School has been placed on administrative leave," APS assistant director of marketing and communications Joanne Isaac said in an email to the Akron Beacon Journal.

To ensure continuity for our student-athletes and football program, Tahj Dent has served as interim head coach and will continue to serve in that role pending further notice. The District remains focused on supporting our students and maintaining normal team operations." Buchtel enters Week 10 with a record of 2-7 overall and 2-2 in the City Series after it had to forfeit four wins last week before playing Garfield. APS self-reported to the OHSAA that North

Athens, Nelsonville-York receive first-round playoff byes

All eyes were on Boston Field Friday night as Athens and Nelsonville-York met for a Tri-Valley Conference-Ohio championship. The Bulldogs emerged with a 14-13 win and the league title, but both teams were winners on Sunday as the Ohio High School Athletic Association officially revealed the football postseason brackets . Both programs officially received first-round byes, with their 9-1 records and strong bodies of work earning both the Bulldogs and the Buckeyes top-four seeds in their regions. That means a full week of rest and at least one home game, a nice reward for both programs. But there are some big games on the horizon, with season-ending implications for those on the wrong end of the scoreboard. Here’s what the tournament draws look like for both teams: ATHENS The Bulldogs’ one-point victory last week was worth more than just a TVC-Ohio title. Entering Friday’s game against the Buckeyes, Athens was on the bubble of even winning a home game, tracking for either the eighth or ninth seed. But the win vaulted Athens into a first-round bye and the No. 4 seed in Division III’s Region 11. After their bye this week, the Bulldogs will await the winner of No. 5

Week 10 Licking County football games to watch, plus picks

Lancaster at Newark Both the Wildcats (3-6. 1-5) and visiting Golden Gales (2-7, 2-4) will fall short of qualifying for the Division I playoffs, but the Ohio Capital Conference-Buckeye Division rivalry does not lack for star power. Seniors Roy Price Jr. and Payton Knott bookend an aggressive Newark front that will look to contain Lancaster tailback Jahmeir Gordon. Nobody has rushed for more yards than Kolton Peterson in the history of Newark. He will look to add a few more as the Wildcats attempt to win their third consecutive in the series, but Lancaster linebacker Jackson Reynolds is one of the best in central Ohio. Utica at Newark Catholic Utica (3-6, 2-2) and the host Green Wave (6-3, 2-2) wrap up Licking County League-Cardinal Division play at White Field, and the game will have plenty of playoff implications riding on it. Utica will know by kickoff if a win would earn a Division V, Region 19 playoff berth, but either way it is looking for a fourth consecutive victory against NC. The Green Wave also will know their possibilities. They have clinched a playoff spot in Division VI, Region 23, but they might need to win to ensure another home
