(12-19-23) Thanks to a TXitter heads-up from a SSN follower…it looks like (rumored) Celina will open the 2024 Season at home against big cityfoe Columbus South. For the last several years the Bulldogs had opened the season against powerhouse MAC for Versailles who lost in the D VI State Title to Kirtland this year.

The Bulldogs are coming off on their best seasons in school history going 12-3 and losing in the D III State Semifinal game to Columbus Bishop Watterson.

The open date has been listed on the OHSAA web site under Open Dates.

Columbus South went 4-7 last season, qualified for the playoffs and lost in the 1st game to Bishop Watterson 45-0. A D III team in Region 11.

Last season they opened Dayton area school Carroll (2-8) and lost 21-18.
