Projected brackets are provisional, not official OHSAA pairings. * Harbin ties require official OHSAA tiebreakers. We assume the higher seed hosts through the regional semifinals; regional finals use a neutral site. Venues can change. Missing forecasts and 50/50 games require your pick. State semifinal pairings are not projected because OHSAA may rebracket. 2026 OHSAA tournament regulations.
