GALION — In wake of last week’s decision by the Ohio High School Athletic Association to revamp football schedules around the state, the Mid-Ohio Athletic Association has updated it’s 2020 schedule.

The schedules were updated in the event Gov. Mike DeWine approves football games — between schools — for this season. If that happens, there will be a six-game regular season. And then, all schools will be invited to the playoffs, which start Week 7.
