Ohio High School Football: Anderson unveils 2026 schedule

High school football schedules for the 2026 season are coming out one-by-one out of every state around the country and one that is a breeding ground for college prospects is Ohio, with a number of squads finalizing their fall slates.

When it comes to the top Ohio high school football teams, you can’t go far without mentioning the name of the Anderson Raptors, which were a state finalist from a year ago. Head coach Evan Dreyer heads into the 2026 season with one of his more talented ball clubs as the Raptors will have multiple Division I, Power 4 recruits.

Among the slated returners for Anderson are 2027 four-star cornerback Ace Alston (Notre Dame commit) and four-star EDGE Antwoine Higgins Jr. The Raptors have practically their same schedule from a year, for the exception of their opener which will be at home against Kentucky’s No. 1 ranked Trinity Shamrocks.
