  • Conotton Valley plays football in the OVAC, while Hiland does not offer the sport. Sandy Valley opted to play in the Small School division to preserve rivalries, while Newcomerstown opted to play in the Large division for the same reason.

Showcases

Three sports now host showcases, pitting teams seeded by division records against their counterparts in the opposite division (1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, etc.)
