THE 10 BEST GAMES TO SEE IN OHIO - WEEK EIGHT By Kyle Holsinger Welcome back, readers! I opened up the selection of games to a wider range than an eight-point spread. This week, I tried to consider the top 100 closest point spreads on Drew Pasteur’s Fantastic 50 website. I hope that can make […]
Welcome back for another edition of The 10 Best Games to See in Ohio. As we get midway through the regular season, conference play has begun and the playoff picture is starting to develop. Last week, we had seven of the ten featured games decided by 10 points or less. Let’s hope we can improve on that.
Welcome back for Heart of Ohio Sports’ third season of The 10 Best Games to See in Ohio.
Based off of feedback from last season, I’m focusing more this season on trying to find games that will be close in score more than ‘premier matchups’. It’s a hard task because you can’t predict the future, but I’m going to give it my best.
Midway through last season, I began to feature a game from each district as an honorable mention selection. The Northwest district’s top pick is featured in our local games so I will add an additional game to the honorable mention due to that this week. That same precedent will continue if and when it happens again.
I can’t wait to get back on the sidelines and watch some football.
Thanks for coming back, and I wanted to add that I really appreciate you all taking the time to give me your feedback. This is the second season that we've done this preview, and each year I want to get closer to picking them all correct. Here we go...
Welcome back everyone! Thanks again to Drew Pasteur's Fantastic 50, Joe Eitel, MaxPreps, 247sports, OhioHSHelmts, and many others who make this article possible. Thanks to Nate Mullins of Heart of Ohio Sports for allowing me a platform to write this article each week. Finally, thank YOU for reading. I'm considering doing a playoff edition next week, but we'll see who all gets in locally.
I want to thank ohiohshelmets.com for the work that they do over there. Without their hard work, these articles wouldn’t have the great graphics that I make every week for these matchups. So thank you.
Another great week of tough matchups to choose from.
We’re already to week three of the season, and we’ve seen some great football so far. I wanted to let the reader know that over the last couple seasons that I’ve wrestled with how to properly rank out-of-state opponents for matchups. I’ve also wrestled with ranking them in the top five of the state or just keeping them as honorable mention.
Welcome back high school football fans. I want to say thank you for coming back for the second season of The Five Best Games to See article series. This week’s edition is coming out later than usual. It will be coming out Monday mornings for the remainder of the season.
I hope your school and all schools have a safe, sportsmanlike, and competitive season in 2025.
Welcome back everyone for the beginning of the 2025 high school football season. I’m excited to get back on the sidelines to cover some games in the coming weeks.
During the season, I do not make any picks or predictions publicly in case I end up getting sent to cover that game on short notice. That being said, the following series of articles are my preseason predictions to win all 28 regions, and my picks for state champions in each of the seven divisions in OHSAA 11-man football this season. There will be seven articles—one for every OHSAA division.
