During the first two rounds of playoff action, the higher seed in each matchup hosted. Neutral sites will be used for regional championship games and next week’s state semifinal games. Neutral sites receive a rental stipend from the OHSAA and also keep revenue from concessions, parking and 50-50 raffles. The OHSAA selects and pays for the officiating crews. Many factors go into determining locations for each game, and rarely can an available site be found that is exactly halftime between the two participating schools. Once a potential site is determined, the school must be available and willing to host a game on the requested night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
