Garfield football vs Conneaut High School, live score updates
GARRETTSVILLE — The best ground games seamlessly pair great running backs with a stout line. After Ryder Cain tied a program single-game record with six touchdowns in Garfield's 48-14 regional quarterfinal win over Conneaut, the current connection in Garrettsville is hard to argue. "Ryder, he's always been the first guy every time thanking his line after every touchdown on the sidelines," G-Men senior lineman Gavin Barnard said. "He is my best friend. I mean we spend every weekend together. We're always out hunting, fishing together. I know that dude like my own brother and I just know how hard he worked and he deserves every bit of it." Sure enough, Cain — when asked about his 23 carries for 248 yards and six touchdowns — quickly brought up his linemen. "It feels great, but I got to give all the credit to the line," Cain said. "They do it all." Watch Ohio High School Football Live on NFHS Network all year Garfield (11-0) never trailed after scoring on its first two drives.

Ohio high school football playoff win erased after unusual ineligible-player scheme
An unusual situation in Ohio has led to one high school football program having to forfeit its opening playoff win and the losing team getting another opportunity in the postseason. According to a report from Josh Weir of The Canton Repository — part of the USA TODAY Network — Liberty (Youngstown, OH) has been removed from the playoffs after the team used an ineligible player in the team's 26-16 opening round win over Canton Central Catholic. 19News received further information, learning that the disqualification stems from an ineligible player swapping jerseys with an eligible player and playing in the game. The report noted that Canton Central Catholic head coach Jeff Lindesmith was told that a fan of Liberty informed a Canton Central Catholic staff member of the swap. Liberty's athletic director Todd Smith was informed of the situation by that staff member shortly after. Smith later reported the situation to the OHSAA, leading to Liberty's disqualification. The Panthers entered the game with a 10-1 record and with the win, had advanced to a highly-anticipated second-round meeting with unbeaten Perry (OH). Now they'll have to look towards the 2027 season. Meanwhile, Canton Central Catholic (7-4) now gets a new life in
