Site Set for Avon High Football Regional Final

Remember that long drive to Friday's regional playoff game against Toledo Central Catholic?

You get to do it again!

Thanks to the Eagles' 49-28 win, they advanced to the OHSAA Division II Region 6 title game.

Avon will play seventh-seeded Tiffin Columbian (9-2) at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Don Paul Stadium in Fremont, the site of last week's game.

The stadium is about three blocks from Fremont Ross High School.

According to the Mapquest directions, from the intersection of Detroit and Center Roads, the trip is 65.47 miles and will take one hour, four minutes. If you're taking the Ohio Turnpike, tolls from the 90/80 split just past Elyria to the state route 53 exit in Fremont start at $2.25 with EZ-Pass and $3.25 without EZ-Pass.

As you know if you went to last week's game, parking is limited at the stadium. There will be 200 spots available at Stamm Elementary School (1038 Miller St.) and it costs $3 to park there. The Stamm Elementary School parking is right behind the visitors' seating at the stadium. There is free parking available at the high school for those who don't mind walking.

The athletic office added that residents on nearby side streets may be offering pay parking, but you do so at your own risk.

Don't forget to bring your winter coat and money for hot chocolate. The forecast calls for temperatures to be falling through the low 40s around kickoff.

We'll let you know as soon as the school announces the schedule for advance tickets sales.
