"The Cincinnati Bengals would like to thank Hamilton County for its leadership on bringing this high school football playoff game to Paycor Stadium," said Bengals Executive Vice President Katie Blackburn. "Commissioner Denise Driehaus jumpstarted the effort and pushed everyone with the spirit of 'let's make this happen'. The Bengals embraced this energy and are proud to support this event. The stadium manager has undertaken enormous measures to make this game happen, and the community will benefit from having a memorable event that will support leading educational institutions in this area like Elder High School and St. Xavier High School. Every effort will be made to make this a wonderful experience for student athletes, their families, the schools and the broader community – and the Bengals thank everyone for outstanding efforts across the board. Good luck to both teams."
"We would like to thank the Hamilton County Commissioners and the Cincinnati Bengals for their efforts to make it possible for this game to be played at Paycor Stadium," said Doug Ute, OHSAA Executive Director.
