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.

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.
