My apologies for getting this article out a few hours later than usual. The first three weeks of the season, I use some metrics from last season’s teams until enough data has built up to properly judge this year’s version of each respective school’s team.

There will be seven articles—one for every OHSAA division.

All of those games are set for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
