^You're welcome. The Huddle is a great resource when it comes to scores, scouting, and just keeping up w/high school football and sports in general.

Here are some big names from NE Ohio:

Cleveland: John Heisman, Don Shula, Ted Ginn, Jr., Troy Smith, the Golic brothers (St. Joe's), Tom Jackson, Desmond Howard, Jack Lambert (Mantua), Urban Meyer (Ashtabula), Chuck Noll, Jim Tressel,

Warren: Paul Warfield (HOF, Harding HS), Randy Gradishar (Champion HS), the Browner Brother's, Ross, Joey, and Keith (Warren Western Reserve), Korey Stringer (Harding), Prescott Burgess (MI and NFL Giants, Harding HS), Mario Manningham (Harding HS, MI)

Youngstown: Bernie Kosar (Boardman), Jerry Olsavsky (Chaney), Bo and Carl Palini (college fb coaches, Mooney), the Stoops brothers (Mooney), Edward DeBartolo (former owner 49ers), Maurice Clarette (attended Warren Harding, embarrassing though!), Paul McGuier(commentator), Anthony Smith (Steelers, Hubbard HS), Michael Zordich (Jets, Cardinals, Eagles), Lou Holtz (East Liverpool), Jeff Wilkins

Didn't realize there were that many from NE Ohio.

Joey Galloway is from Bellaire. Which might be more SE Ohio.

I think Todd Blackledge went to Hoover.
Don Nehlen (BGSU and WVU coach) is from Canton.


Ohio coaches that have won BCS titles:
Bob Stoops OU
Jim Tressel OSU
Urban Meyer UF
Les Miles LSU

And Pete Caroll (USC) Nick Saban (LSU) and Larry Coker (Miami) all coached at Ohio colleges and went on to win BCS titles.

I think Pelini will be on that list in the next couple of years.

Also, just off the top of my head...

LeCharles Bentley (Cleveland St. Ignatius)
Donte Whitner (Cleveland Glenville)
Joe Jurevicius (Mentor Lake Catholic)
Elvis Grbac (Cleveland St. Joseph)
Lee Evans (Bedford)
Chris Chambers (Bedford)

I do think that NE Ohio and SW Ohio are the powerhouse regions. They are probably fairly even. Cincinnati may have a few more powerhouses than Cleveland, but the Youngstown/Warren area, and Canton/Massillon add in to the NE Ohio mix to pretty much even things up.

Not like this counts in this subject, but what region has a bigger population?

NE Ohio has the biggest population of all 5 of those in Ohio.

When divided into 5 (NE, NW, C, SW, SE) Northeast Ohio has over 5.2 million people, nearly half the state population.

Ok, what would SW Ohio's population be? Probaly pretty close to NE Ohio.
