While 336 Ohio high school football teams will have at least one more game in the postseason, Week 10 will be the final game for 370 teams across the state. For some seniors, it may be the final game of their careers.

A quick message to the players (and parents): Enjoy it. It’s over in an instant.
Here’s what you need to know heading into this weekend:
