Special teams loomed large in Sheridan football's playoff loss

COLUMBUS — A script-like night for football was "special" for Michael Thompson-Ayers and the rest of the East Tiger return men. Quite literally, it was their performance on special teams in their Division III, Region 11 quarterfinal matchup with visiting Sheridan that made this night memorable. Thompson-Ayers' 65-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was East's second long return of the half — Dominique Edwards had a 55-yarder on the opening kickoff — that impacted the game so much that visiting Sheridan didn't even kick their way until the final minute of the second half. It was the key factor in the third-seeded Tigers' 42-28 win before a festive crowd on Nov. 6 at Harley Field. East, which lost in the Division IV quarterfinals in 2025, advanced to face unbeaten Licking Valley at 7 p.m. on Nov. 13 at Randy Baughman Stadium.

Ryker Williams rallies Indian Valley football past West Muskingum

Indian Valley football appeared to be in complete control early Friday night, but the Braves needed one final push to keep their unbeaten season and state championship hopes alive. Behind another standout performance from senior quarterback Ryker Williams, top-seeded Indian Valley survived a second-half comeback by West Muskingum, earning a 35-28 victory in the Division IV, Region 15 quarterfinals on Nov. 6. The Braves built a 27-7 lead late in the first half before watching the Tornadoes score 21 unanswered points to take a one-point advantage early in the fourth quarter. But when Indian Valley needed an answer, Williams delivered. After the Braves failed to convert a fourth down, their defense forced a fumble to give the offense another opportunity. Williams capitalized with a 4-yard touchdown run with 6:32 remaining, putting Indian Valley ahead for good. Who's moving on? OHSAA football playoffs 2026: Results from Tuscarawas County “We’ve been facing a lot of adversity this year,” Indian Valley coach Matt Lancaster said. “We know we’re going to get everybody’s best, and West Muskingum is a really good football team. So we overcame the adversity and were able to get a turnover and capitalize on it tonight.” Indian Valley wasted little

Adena completes special season with regional final loss to Meadowbrook

CAMBRIDGE — Seven games into this season, if you would’ve told Adena’s coaching staff that the Warriors would be playing in a regional final, they may have looked at you like you had a screw loose. At that point in the year, Adena was facing adversity, injuries to several key pieces, and was searching for any type of rhythm at 2-5 overall. But once they did find a formula that worked, there was no looking back. It all led to a Division V regional final appearance on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Cambridge High School. But after rattling off five straight victories to get to that point, the Warriors reached the end of the line with a 25-16, 25-21, 25-16 loss to Byesville Meadowbrook (25-1). RELATED: Four area volleyball players earn All-Ohio recognition “We saw Meadowbrook in the summertime and kind of knew what we were up against,” Adena coach Laura Smith said. “We just don't have the firepower they do, and we’ll just have to keep working on that. They’re well-coached and they work hard. And that’s not to say we don’t. But they have a lot more kids that are taller, and I know the work they do in

Chillicothe can't contain Miami Trace's Julian Baker in Week 12 loss

CHILLICOTHE — When Chillicothe’s football program reconvenes in the middle of this coming summer, the Cavaliers will have plenty to build upon — and plenty to prove. Chillicothe saw its season end with a 35-14 loss to Miami Trace on Friday, Nov. 6, in a Division III, Region 12 quarterfinal at Herrnstein Field. But the end of the road doesn’t negate an 8-3 overall record, a home playoff game, and another layer of brick added to the program’s now-firm foundation. “My message to the kids was not to hang their heads,” Chillicothe coach TJ Carper said. “This is just the start of the future of this program. You look back at this season and it’s one of the best seasons that Chillicothe has had in a long time. I’m proud of our guys, I love them and I’m here for them. I think they’re going to apply the success they’ve had to everything else they do in life.” HS FOOTBALL: Mechanicsburg ground game ends Zane Trace season After coming into the contest with hopes of getting past Miami Trace and into Week 13, Panthers running back Julian Baker quickly made it clear that it wasn’t going to happen.
