Ohio High School Athletic Association State Championships

From 1958 to 1964 the championship hardware spent most of its time back in Stark County, but those teams were beginning to loose their tight fisted grasp on the state title. Alliance finished atop the AP poll in ‘58, but shared state honors with UPI winner Marion Harding. In ’59 and ’60 Massillon Washington took first place in both polls, but in 1961 Niles McKinley gained the top spot in the UPI poll, while Massillon again grabbed top honors in the AP poll. In 1962 a powerful Toledo Central Catholic squad took top honors in both polls, while Niles McKinley did likewise in ’63, with Massillon back on top in ‘64.
