Coaches know what they’re going to get with the high school football schedule.
Typically, the opponents were determined long ago, and tweaks are unnecessary. Teams alternate road and home games with conference foes and rivals from season to season.
Several programs from the Sandusky Bay Conference will help form the Northern Ohio Conference after the current season. For now, however, the schedule shouldn’t surprise you.
Still, each of the area teams below has something on its schedule to take note of.
Fremont Ross
Sandusky is the Week 2 matchup on the road. The Little Giants play host to Toledo Whitmer and Findlay at home after a trip to Perrysburg against the heavyweights from the Northern Lakes League Buckeye Division the next three weeks.
Ross follows with three straight games on the road, including the first two of its four games in the NLL Cardinal Division.
Clyde
The Fliers play host to rival Bellevue to start the season. Clyde plays three straight games on the road, starting Week 4 and finishing with a visit to Perkins to start play in the Sandusky Bay Conference Lake Division.
Clyde finishes with three games in the division, including Sandusky and Norwalk at home.

Port Clinton starts with three consecutive games on the road, bookended by trips to Norwalk St. Paul and rival Oak Harbor.
The four-game SBC Bay Division portion of the schedule is sandwiched between a visit from Clyde and trip to Sandusky.
