Book Description
By the middle of the twentieth century, Ohio high school football ranked among the mightiest in the nation. Dynastic programs Massillon and Canton McKinley dominated the 1950s. Not to be outdone, Barberton, Portsmouth, Cleveland Cathedral Latin and Jackson staked their claims to greatness, and championship squads from Benedictine to Marion Harding and Alliance fought their way to the top of the rankings. Ever-steady Massillon continued their winning ways in the '60s. Along the way, determined newcomers like Niles McKinley, Toledo Central Catholic, Wyoming, Sandusky, Bishop Watterson and Marion Catholic snatched their share of gridiron glory. At the decade's close, the fierce Golden Bears of Upper Arlington forged their own dynasty. Join author Tim Raab as he presents the champions, contenders, heartbreaks and heroics of this thrilling era of Ohio pigskin history.

Book Description
One point can separate winners from losers. From the miracle victory over Mogadore in the Ohio Division V State Semifinals to the heartbreaking loss against Newark Catholic in the Ohio Division V State Championship Game, the 1986 Ayersville Pilot High School football team was on the giving and receiving end of this slimmest of margins, one point. The virtually unknown Ayersville team came out of nowhere to post a 10-0 regular season record and make the playoffs for the first time in school history. The entire community followed along as they made their way to the pinnacle of high school football, The State Championships. A play-by-play account of the final regular season game against an undefeated Edgerton team and the additional four playoff games will put the reader right in the middle of the action. Witness the exciting miracle victory over Mogadore, and the turning events of the State Championship game played at The Ohio State University's Horseshoe Stadium. In all of the different sporting events, there is nothing worse than a loss by the slimmest of margins. In the true competitive nature of athletics, it will always be the Point of Sorrow.

Book Description
The Ohio State Buckeyes have been a powerhouse in college football for decades, with numerous national championships and NFL draftees to their credit. With such a successful history, it’s no wonder that the passion for Ohio State football has reached a level of devotion that has religious overtones. Saint Woody: The History and Fanaticism of Ohio State Football is a Bill Bryson–style look at Ohio State football and the spiritual fanaticism that surrounds it. Bob Hunter tracks the development of this powerhouse program from its earliest days to its heights under Woody Hayes, the de facto king of Ohio State football. Hayes led the team to three national championships and a record of 205-61-10 over a twenty-eight-year period and was at the heart of the “Ten-Year War,” a particularly intense period in the infamous Ohio State–Michigan rivalry. Hunter also looks at the present-day state of Buckeye football and the team’s scarlet-and-gray-clad followers, as well as its legion of detractors, who voted Ohio State as the “most hated” college team in a nationwide survey. America loves—and hates—a winner. Irreverent, honest, insightful, and always entertaining, Saint Woody will appeal to anyone whose spirit has ever lifted when hearing that famous cry “Go Bucks!”
