Northeast Ohio will be well represented at this weekend's high school football state championship games in Massillon.
Starting with Friday's Division VII matchup between New Bremen and Warren John F. Kennedy and ending with New Middletown Springfield taking on Coldwater in the Division VI title game, each championship game will feature at least one school from Northeast Ohio.
Here's how the schedule for the weekend looks. Though the games were originally scheduled to be played in Columbus, the Ohio High School Athletic Association announced Thursday they would be moved to Massillon's Paul Brown Stadium in the wake of a stay-at-home advisory implemented in Franklin County.
