THE APEX TIMES
Hamilton County and the Cincinnati Bengals will bring the Ohio high school football regional championship to Paycor Stadium on Friday night, continuing a growing push to use the venue for community events beyond NFL games.
Paycor Stadium will host the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Division I, Region 4 Football Championship game on Friday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m., according to an announcement from the Cincinnati Bengals and Hamilton County.
The matchup will feature the winners of the OHSAA Division I, Region 4 semifinal playoff games that take place that evening, with the two advancing teams earning the chance to play on the same field as the Cincinnati Bengals.
Hamilton County officials described the event as part of a broader effort to maximize public investment in the stadium through a lease partnership with the Bengals, which they said has already included multiple high school games and is expected to add at least one more.
OHSAA executive leadership and Bengals stadium operations staff characterized the return of high school playoff football to Paycor Stadium as an experience meant for student-athletes, families, and fans, pointing to the atmosphere created during the prior year’s comparable event.
