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

I have countless presentations and readings to finish, and an exam worth most of my grade is approaching quickly.

Gail Edwards, elementary secretary at Shanksville-Stonycreek Elementary School, is one of two school employees recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Education with the 2027 Pennsylvania Recognizing Inspiring School Employees (RISE) Award for exceptional contributions to school and community. BillieJo Pecht, alternative education paraprofessional at Penns Valley Jr./Sr. High School in the Penns Valley Area School District, is the second honoree for 2027. Edwards said she didn’t know she was nominated. "It was a surprise," Edwards said. "Over the summer I got an email that said I was selected to move on in the process." Edwards was interviewed by PDE staff, and the school submitted five staff letters of support along with three letters from parents. Edwards said the letters from students’ families were especially meaningful. What is the RISE Award? The RISE Award was established by Congress in 2019 and is administered by the U.S. Department of Education. It honors a school employee who provides exemplary service to students in pre-kindergarten through high school.
