Ohio high school football powerhouse banned from playoffs amid probe
An investigation into a player's eligibility has removed Glenville, one of Ohio's premier high school football programs, from postseason play. The Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported that the Cleveland-area program's postseason ban stems from an audit of fall-sport participation that found many of the team's football players should be playing for other schools. This is not the first time that Glenville has received this punishment for the same situation. The other time was in 2018, when the program was also fined $5,000 and placed on probation for three years.

The report noted that the OHSAA is reviewing the extent of the violations and whether they extend to other schools in the area.
