Jackson football gets chance to show how far it’s come vs. Hudson

JACKSON TWP. — Jay Rohr heard his Jackson High School football team say all the right things. What the fifth-year head coach saw from the Polar Bears on Aug. 28 didn't match their words. Jackson's 55-35 loss to Hudson back in Week 2 marked a turning point in the 2026 season, and now the Polar Bears find those same Explorers returning to Fife Stadium for a second-round playoff game in Division I, Region 1. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6. How far has Jackson come? We're about to find out. Watch Ohio High School Football Live on NFHS Network all year Jackson lost a well-played game against Wadsworth the following week, then won the last seven games of the regular season. It earned its first outright Federal League title since 2001, highlighted by a decisive 30-14 win at Benson Stadium vs. Canton McKinley, and a first-round bye in the playoffs. "We've always talked about going from a good team to a great team," Rohr said. "Going into this season, I felt this group could be a really special group." That notion was challenged early on.
