The biggest game in Ohio this weekend (hint: small schools)
Could it be bigger than two teams ranked No. 1 in the state facing off?
That’s what it will be on Friday, Oct. 16, when Coldwater visits Delphos St. John’s in what should be a spectacular high school football game.
Coldwater is 7-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state in Division V.
St. John’s is 7-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state in Division VI.
But, ask those teams, and they might tell you the win is more important for the Midwest Athletic Conference than for any state ranking. St. John’s won four consecutive league titles from 1997-2000 before Coldwater won or shared six of the next eight titles, including last year’s.
Some research by our department’s B.J. Bethel brought about this nugget: Since the 2002 season, Coldwater has only lost only two league games, one against Versailles in 2003 (12-10) and another against Marion Local in 2007 (35-14).
It’ll likely be the best game in Ohio this weekend.
If you’re going, get there early.

(another hint) Since you didn’t mention where Delphos St. John’s is located, not many people will go other than Coldwater fans.

Hey, Flipper You a little dense today or what? The name of the town usually goes in from of the school. That means the school is located in Delphos, you dumbass

Would make for a good game, also would make for a very long drive.. Either one is a long long way from here. St. Johns’s makes the playoff’s they will eventually have to play Lockland. I have watched them play this year. Tough, tough team.

No question Coldwater or Delphos could knock off several DII or DI schools.
