​Every season when you gaze at the football schedule for a particular coverage area, there are always certain matchups that stick out more than others. It’s no different with Wooster. Here are the 10 biggest high school football games to watch during the 2026 season.More: Wooster Daily Record’s top returning offensive football players in 2026More: 2026 North Central Ohio preseason high achool football poll predicts champsTop 10 Games to Watch in 2026Week 2, Triway at NorwayneLast season, Triway and Norwayne renewed a nonconference rivalry that went back to the 1980s and 1990s, with their Week 2 meeting being the first time the two schools played against each other since 2000. Triway got the upper-hand with a 36-14 win at home versus Norwayne in 2025. This season, Triway will make the trip to Norwayne in another Week 2 matchup as last season’s Principals Athletic Conference champions (Triway) and Wayne County Athletic League champions (Norwayne) will both be breaking in new quarterbacks.Week 2, Garaway at DaltonWeek 3, Garaway at NorwayneInterestingly enough, both Dalton and Norwayne got a crack at Garaway last season and both went down to the Inter Valley Conference Pirates.

In 2026, they will meet in Week 4, which will be the opening WCAL game for both teams. After Dalton made the Division VII state championship game in 2023 — where they defeated Hillsdale 50-7 in the regular season — Hillsdale returned the favor in not just beating Dalton the past two seasons but also going all the way to the Division VII state title game themselves. Hillsdale will have a number of news faces on their roster and Dalton will have to stay healthy after dealing with injuries to some key players last season.This one just might give us an idea of where each team is heading the rest of the season. Week 6, Dover at West HolmesBased on how many of the media members see the Ohio Cardinal Conference playing out entering this season, Dover is the popular pick to win the league. West Holmes will be looking to bounce back from a 5-5 season where they missed the playoffs, which is not the norm for the Knights’ f
