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

Norwayne boys heading to first state soccer championship game in school history
TWINSBURG − Fifteen minutes into the first half of a scoreless OHSAA Division V state semifinal match between Norwayne and Rootstown at Twinsburg Tiger Stadium on Wednesday, Nov. 11, Norwayne set the ball into the box, and forward/striker Erik Neruda was able to get a foot on it. A soft touch by Neruda was enough to get the ball over the Rootstown goalkeeper, who was coming off his lines, and it rolled into the net. That goal was the first of five for Norwayne in the Bobcats' (17-4-1) 5-2 victory over Rootstown (17-3-2) in a match where they took a 3-0 lead into halftime. Neruda's goal was a demonstration of how effective the Bobcats were in playing long balls downfield or switching the play to their forwards, who were able to make quality runs off the ball to put pressure on the Rovers backline for scoring chances. More: Chippewa's defensive activity swarms Hiland, heading to third straight state final "We were moving the ball well. We knew their defense was a little weaker," Neruda said.
