That would probably be Massillon, OH. A former coach at the high school was a guy named Woody Hayes, I think.
"Back in the day," there were several huge football schools in Ohio including Cleveland East Tech, Cincinnati Princeton, Cincinnati Mohler (Notre Dame recruited Gerry F aust as head coach from the same job at Mohler -- which did not turn out well) and others. All of the Columbus schools were heavily into football, being in the figurative shadow of Ohio Stadium.
On a different subject, I think that the Columbus Public Schools must have worked off a calendar year for admissions for a while, because I dated a girl who was born on December 31 and she was the youngest kid in school for her entire K-12 career.
