ASHLAND — We’re turning to Week 10 of the Ohio high school football season and playoff prognostications are in the air.
For instance, Ashland (5-4) kept its postseason hopes alive with a jaw-dropping 27-21 overtime win at Wooster on Friday night. Killian O’Brien caught the game-tying touchdown pass on the final play of regulation and the Arrows won it on Grayson Baith’s 9-yard walk-off touchdown run in OT. This was also coach Scott Valentine’s 200th victory. Ashland will try to secure a postseason berth at Lexington on Friday. The Minutemen won last year’s meeting 43-35.
Individually, a number of local athletes are coming off superb performances. Here’s a look at the top efforts from Week 9.

Best of the best
-All three touchdowns in the Huber Heights Wayne 21-17 win against Beavercreek came via Jamier Brown. The Ohio State verbal commitment had four receptions for 168 yards, and TDs going for 72, 55, and 37 yards – all in the first half.
-Steubenville Catholic Central’s Rahim Mitchell had a night for the ages on Saturday night. The junior standout ran for 417 yards and seven touchdowns on 34 carries, caught two passes for 70 yards and an addition TD and had two interceptions, a fumble recovery and four pass break ups on defense to lead the Crusaders to a key 66-54 victory over Conotton Valley in the race for a Region 27 playoff spot. Mitchell’s scoring runs covered 22, 23, 20, 18, 9, 45 and 47 yards and his receiving score went 56 yards. His second catch with one second left in the first half set up another score. He accounted for 487 of the Crusaders’ 676 yards offense in a game that had 14 lead changes. On defense, Central has six stops/turnovers and he factored directly into four of them, including breaking up a key fourth down pass in the fourth quarter.
-Vanlue, the smallest school in the state playing 11-man football, doesn’t win many games. When they do, though, the Wildcats have a flair for the dramatic. In a matchup of winless teams, Vanlue (0-8) trailed Dayton Stivers (0-5) in the final seconds, and seemed destined to have its losing streak extended to 11 straight when a last-second pass fell incomplete. There was a flag, though. Stivers was called pass interference, and Vanlue, with all zeros on the clock, would be allowed to run one more play. The Wildcats made the most of the opportunity, with quarterback Chase Cornette hitting Trey Miller with a 15-yard TD pass that gave Vanlue a 38-36 win and its first victory celebration since the eighth week of the 2025 season when they ended a 24-game skid with a 32-28 thriller over Jefferson Township. Cornette, a freshman, had 462 total yards in the game – 112 passing, 231 rushing, 119 on kickoff and punt returns. He also scored five touchdowns, four of them coming on 1-yard dives as Vanlue rallied from a 28-18 third-quarter deficit to chalk up just its third win in the past six seasons. Stivers got a pretty impressive performance as well from Kei’von Clark. A sophomore receiver/defensive back, Clark also had five TDs, scoring on 50-, 55-, 62- and 72-yard runs and catching a 13-yard pass for another score.
-Columbus Grove’s Gavin Baxter scored six touchdowns in the Bulldogs 56-24 win over Convoy Crestview. A 6-foot-4, 205-pound junior who was all-Ohio as a defensive end last season and a two-event state placer in track (LJ, 110 hurdles), Baxter had rushing TDs of 4, 4, 10 and 16 yards and caught scoring passes of 18 and 42 yards, all in the first half when Grove powered its way to a 49-0 lead.
-Ottawa-Glandorf’s season of redemption continued on Friday when the Titans edged Celina 22-20 in a Western Buckeye League battle between unbeaten, state-ranked teams. Celina pulled within two when 6-5 receiver Caleb Schleter made a leaping grab of a Jett Warner pass in the end zone. The Bulldogs, ranked No. 2 in Division III, tried the same play for the two-point conversion but O-G broke it up. After an 0-10 2025 season, O-G improved to 9-0 and clinched at least a share of the WBL title under first-year head coach Ben Kaufman.
-For the first time since 1988, the Northwest Ohio Athletic League football title will be decided by a Week 10 battle of 9-0 teams and just as it was 38 years ago, Liberty Center and Archbold will decide it. Defending D-V state champ LC stayed unbeaten with a 51-7 win over Wauseon while Archbold will vie for its first league crown since 2021 as a 9-0 squad after beating Bryan 42-0. The two teams met in the 1988 regular season finale with eventual D-V state champion Archbold beating LC 23-6. The loss put LC at fifth in D-V Region 18, just missing the playoffs.
-Barnesville’s Trey Tolivert ran 46 times for 303 yards and two touchdowns as Barnesville ran its winning streak to nine games with a 27-21 win over Wheeling Central.
-Springboro quarterback Max Miller returned from injury to complete 27-of-39 passes for 371 yards and three touchdowns as the Panthers rallied to top Centerville 40-31. Miller, who hadn’t played since Week 3 at Withrow, connected 11 times each with Noah Billinski and Kru Collins for 286 of those yards and one touchdown. Billinski had 156 yards receiving with the touchdown and Collins totaled 130 yards receiving.
-Leipsic improved to 9-0 and captured its first Blanchard Valley Conference football title since 2011 with a 27-6 win over Van Buren. Aaron Hazelton scored three rushing touchdowns on 24 carries, while Marc Kirkendall completed 7 of 19 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown and rushed 10 times for 79 yards. Avery Paris caught two passes for 53 yards and a touchdown.
-Waverly’s Hezekiah “Hez” Nelson had another huge game as a receiver Friday night, securing 10 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns in Waverly’s 55-0 win over Northwest. Throwing to Nelson was senior quarterback Gunnar Myers, who completed 20-of-28 passes for 382 yards and three touchdowns. Over the past three weeks, Nelson’s totals add up to 25 receptions for 516 yards and 5 TDs.
-Nelsonville-York quarterback Cameron Sullivan completed 19-of-33 passes for 296 yards and five touchdowns, and rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown on seven carries, in the undefeated Buckeyes’ 55-28 Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division victory over Vinton County. Grant Elliott added eight receptions for 139 yards, as four of Sullivan’s five TD tosses went to him.

They were 6-0 in league play the past two seasons, after winning all five league tilts in 2023 – as Oak Hill canceled its game with Wheelersburg that year.

Eight of the Vikings’ nine wins, sans their 35-7 victory over visiting Pike Eastern in week seven, have come via way of the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s running-clock rule for the entire second half. The Vikings are now 17-2 in their last 19 regular-season games, remain atop the Division VII Region 27 computer ratings, and have unofficially clinched at least a first-round bye for the state playoffs. Against Notre Dame, junior quarterback Bronx Carpenter completed 19-of-30 passes for four touchdowns and 323 yards, as Andrew Isaacs made four receptions for 108 yards – and led the Vikings in tackles with seven.

-The South Point Pointers rallied from a 29-21 late second-quarter deficit, and outscored the visiting Portsmouth Trojans 21-8 in the final 24 minutes and six seconds, to defeat Portsmouth 42-37 on Friday night in an Ohio Valley Conference game at South Point’s Alumni Field.
