Nice Ohio game in Mason if any KY high school football fans don't get their fill on Friday.

I agree. Should be a great game.

What time? This I might have to see.

7 PM. Mason holds about 7000 so might want to be a little early.

Should be on Time Warner also.

Just for fun....

 

Playoff pairings follow the regional bracket format as determined by the final computer ratings released Sunday, Nov. 3. A total of 224 schools qualified for the postseason out of the 714 that played football this season (31.4 percent). First round games were played Nov. 8-9 at the home site of the higher seed, or the site of the higher seed’s choosing. Neutral sites for all other rounds are determined by the OHSAA.

 

Beginning this season, there are seven divisions in the football playoffs. The largest 72 schools are in Division I, which is divided into two regions. The top 16 teams in both Division I regions have qualified for the playoffs. There are approximately 108 schools each in Divisions II through VII, which are each divided into four regions. The top eight teams in each region in those divisions have qualified for the playoffs.

....or a lot early.

Will this be broadcast anywhere online?

Why isn't Nippert the host?

I know the radio broadcast of both schools is available. iHigh.com will have at least one available for certain.

 

Is Mason field an artificial surface? That will be huge.

If any other BGPers plan to attend let me know. That's the second of 5 days off work for me and I bet that games going to be awesome.

Artificial turf.

 

I'd get there a lot early, and I wonder if tickets will even be available by game night. I expect presale at both schools will be very heavy.

I was surprised by the choice of Mason High School as well. But UC does host Houston at Noon on Saturday. I guess someone decided that wouldn't be enough turnaround time for a 7 pm high school contest.

 

Very surprised Paul Brown Stadium isn't the site. Bengals have the bye next weekend. Shouldn't be any conflicts there at all. And, if the weather cooperates I could see this game drawing 15 to 20 thousand.

On the PBS site, I don't know what reason(s) may be involved in the game not being played there, so I want to tread lightly here.

 

But, if cost of the facility was an issue, the Bengals should be blasted in every media outlet available in the city this week. When those lobbying for PBS being built (at the cost of Hamilton County taxpayers) one of the many promises they made was that the stadium would be available for events exactly like this. For a time, it was. I haven't seen it lately.

 

Here we have two Hamilton County high schools, playing the game of the year in Cincinnati, and the game will be played in another county. This, while the Mecca Hamilton County taxpayers built sits dark and empty. As I said, there could be a lot of reasons for this, I just hope cost is NOT one, because...

 

A lot of fans (many of whom will be Hamilton County residents) are not going to be able to get into this game at Mason High School. If the game is at PBS, not only does everyone get in, but everyone can come downtown and spend money wherever before and after the game. Good for the players, good for the schools, good for the fans, good for the businesses that invested in downtown, and an example that maybe the taxpayers of Hamilton County made a good choice.

Rent is a lot less.
