We started the year with 707 schools and now the Ohio high school football season is down to just 28 dreaming of a 2024 state championship.

Sunday, the Ohio High School Athletic Association released all of the Final Four matchups. The geography of the four schools remaining in each division is the primary factor in determining how the regional champions were paired for the state semifinals. A team’s won-lost record, regional seed and state rank do not factor into the state semifinal bracket pairings or host sites.
