COLUMBUS <\/strong>\u2014 The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced the bracket pairings for next week\u2019s football state semifinal games. The geography of the schools involved in each region is the primary factor in determining how the regional champions will be paired in the state semifinals. A team\u2019s won-lost record, regional seed and state rank do not factor into the state semifinal bracket pairings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Division VI, should Bluffton and Coldwater win their respective regional championship games, they would meet in the state semifinals. The winners of Columbus Grove\/Delphos St. John\u2019s and Marion Local will meet in the state semifinals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pairings for all of this Friday\u2019s regional finals are included below. Locations for the state semifinals will be announced on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About neutral sites\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neutral host sites receive a stipend from the OHSAA and also keep revenue from concessions, parking, 50-50 raffles and program sales. The OHSAA selects and pays for the officiating crews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without schools being willing to host games, the OHSAA would not be able to use neutral sites. Many factors go into determining locations for each game, and rarely can a site be found that is exactly halftime between the two schools. Once a potential site is determined, the school must be available and willing to host a game on the requested night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
