Ohsaa announces all Division I playoff games will be played on Fridays

STAFF AND WiRE REPORT

T h e O h i o H i g h School Athletic Asso-ciation’s Board of Di-rectors announced Wednesday the approv-al of new high school football tournament regulations in 2016, in-cluding the move of all Division I playoff games to Friday nights. It will be the first time for this to occur since 1980.

Joining Division I on Friday nights at 7:30 p.m. will be playoff games in Divisions II, IV and VI, while Satur-day games will include Divisions III, V and VII at 7 p.m.

For several years, at-tendance has decreased at Division-I games in November, primarily due to some fans opt-ing for college games, which include more night games. In addi-tion, fewer facilities are available on Saturdays due to other school

functions or staff not being available.

“In Ohio’s larger cit-ies where the Division I schools are located, we have been competing with college games and other events on Satur-days, both in terms of fans and facilities being available,” said Beau Rugg, the OHSAA’s As-sistant Commissioner and football adminis-trator. “Moving Division I playoff games to Fri-day nights has been something our foot-ball tournament com-mittee has been think-ing about for a couple years. With the endorse-ment of the Ohio High School Football Coach-es Association, we felt it was the right time to make the change, and the OHSAA Board of Directors agreed.”

Since 1980, Division I playoff games have been on Saturdays ex-cept for a few games in 2001 and 2006.
