COLUMBUS — The East Palestine football team is going back to Division VI after spending the last two years in Division V.

That was the only change in the area as the Ohio High School Athletic Association approved the football divisional assignments for the upcoming 2019 season on Monday.

According to the OHSAA, 55 teams moved up a division due to enrollment, while 47 moved down. Also, seven moved up a division due to competitive balance, while 14 moved down.
