After a week off Indian Valley has made it debut in the OHSAA playoff, taking on West Muskingum. The Braves jumped out to a quick start, taking a 27-7 in the final minutes of the first half; however the Tornadoes did not go away quietly. After a two 60-yard touchdown runs by West Muskingum to end the first half and to open the second half the Tornadoes trailed by six points.

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.

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.

Adena completes special season with regional final loss to Meadowbrook

CAMBRIDGE — Seven games into this season, if you would’ve told Adena’s coaching staff that the Warriors would be playing in a regional final, they may have looked at you like you had a screw loose. At that point in the year, Adena was facing adversity, injuries to several key pieces, and was searching for any type of rhythm at 2-5 overall. But once they did find a formula that worked, there was no looking back. It all led to a Division V regional final appearance on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Cambridge High School. But after rattling off five straight victories to get to that point, the Warriors reached the end of the line with a 25-16, 25-21, 25-16 loss to Byesville Meadowbrook (25-1). RELATED: Four area volleyball players earn All-Ohio recognition “We saw Meadowbrook in the summertime and kind of knew what we were up against,” Adena coach Laura Smith said. “We just don't have the firepower they do, and we’ll just have to keep working on that. They’re well-coached and they work hard. And that’s not to say we don’t. But they have a lot more kids that are taller, and I know the work they do in
