Knox County football: Danville has bye; three KMAC teams remain in Division VI playoff hunt

The OHSAA’s next-to-last football computer ratings, released Tuesday, leave all four Knox County schools in the Knox Morrow Athletic Conference with playoff possibilities, Knox Pages reported.

Danville, 9-0 and second in Division VII Region 27, has secured a first-round bye. Fredericktown, Centerburg and East Knox remain in contention in Division VI Region 23. Fredericktown (7-2) is eighth and has clinched a spot. Centerburg (6-3) sits 11th and East Knox (5-4) 14th.

The Freddies travel to Centerburg on Friday, while East Knox welcomes Danville for the annual Devil-Dog game. Under OHSAA rules, the top 12 in each region qualify and the top four receive byes. Final ratings and first-round pairings are due Sunday.

Separately, OHSAA announced Monday the Canton state championship schedule and ticket details. Division I contains the 72 largest schools plus opt-ups for 2026; Divisions II through VII are split into groups of about 106. The report covers Week 10.
