by 10. Highland Hornets (12-1, 7-0 SLA, Lost Regional Finals 36-19 vs. Avon)
Highland makes the move to the Suburban League National Conference and are looking to replace one of the best players in school history, Medina County’s all-time leading rusher Casey Myser. The cupboard is not bare though, as the Hornets return All-Ohioan Evan Foust. Highland also has a weapon that schools across the state wish they had; a kicker with a big leg. Jonah Kowza had a season long of 43 yards, but showed in offseason clips that his range could extend over the 50-yard mark. The Hornets kick off the 2026 campaign with a battle against a final four team from a season ago, Walsh Jesuit.
