The latest Ohio high school football program to release their 2026 schedule are the 8-time state champion Youngstown (OH) Cardinal Mooney Cardinals. Cardinal Mooney brings back a slew of talent on the defensive side of the ball, including 2027 three-star EDGE Dominic Letlow.

Where the team will be looking to shore themselves at during the off-season is on offense as the Cardinals graduate several key starters from 2025’s 10-win team. With another grueling slate of games lined up for the fall, expectations remain high for Cardinal Mooney as they chase the program’s ninth state title.
