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.

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.

Chillicothe looking to right wrong in playoff matchup with Miami Trace

CHILLICOTHE — Just over a month ago, on Oct. 2, Miami Trace traveled to Herrnstein Field and handed Chillicothe its first loss of the season. The Panthers did so emphatically, too, piling up 404 yards of offense behind a 32-carry, 240-yard performance from senior Julian Baker in a 28-14 victory. On Friday, Nov. 6, the Cavaliers will try and right that wrong. The two will meet for a second time this season in a Division III, Region 12 quarterfinal. “We just have to do these little things right, especially defensively,” Chillicothe coach TJ Carper said. “We have to tackle our assignments, make sure that we keep the ball in front of us, and play with relentless effort. If you look back at that game, the last time we played, it was the little details. We have to maintain high discipline, rally to the ball and do the little things right.” Baker has been otherworldly this fall, rushing 177 times for 2,338 yards and 37 touchdowns. He’s also made 82 tackles on the defensive end while leading the Panthers to the outright Frontier Athletic Conference championship.

Ohio school district suspends non-varsity sports after tax levy fails

Getting out to vote matters. That's a lesson an Ohio school district is learning in the wake of the 2026 midterm elections. According to the Columbus Dispatch — part of the USA TODAY Network — Pickerington Local Schools is suspending all non-varsity athletics and other extracurriculars. This comes after a 0.75% income tax levy proposal in Fairfield and Franklin counties failed, according to unofficial election results. The vote failed by just around 250 votes, which is less than 1% of all the votes cast. Superintendent Charles Smialek told parents in a letter that all athletic teams below the varsity level and other extracurricular activities have been suspended, effective on Wednesday, Nov. 4, while other activities — including musicals and theater — will continue through Dec. 31. Smialek told The Dispatch that "the district needed to protect academics in the classroom, and hard decisions needed to be made," and the move would be a "short-term proposition." According to The Dispatch, the district faces a $21 million deficit, based on the figures presented to the board. "We understand the value of extracurriculars, we understand the experiences they create. It's difficult," Smialek told The Dispatch. "These are among the harder decisions most of

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.
