High school football playoff season has arrived in Ohio.

The first round kicks off on Halloween this year, with the better-seeded teams playing host.

One of the games to watch across the state this week is in Division 1, Region 2, where Wayne hosts Westland in Huber Heights, Ohio.

Opening kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET on Friday, October 31 with a live TV broadcast on NFHS Network .

Wayne features the top-ranked junior recruit in Ohio, wide receiver Jamier Brown. The five-star Ohio State commit made national headlines this month thanks to his NIL battle with OHSAA .

Brown’s estimated earning power, according to the complaint, was set at more than $100,000 per year. The OHSAA could vote on NIL rules soon in response to the lawsuit.
