Norwalk High School’s football schedule keeps evolving.
The Reflector previously confirmed the addition of Bedford St. Peter Chanel on to the schedule for Week 4 beginning in 2011 and running through 2012.
This Week 4 matchup was needed because the Northern Ohio League, starting in 2011, will be minus Galion, Fostoria and Upper Sandusky, but will have added Sandusky.
The 2010 schedule will still include those three teams mentioned for the final time.
This leaves Weeks 4 and 5 open for all remaining NOL schools in 2011 and beyond.
Chanel will come to Whitney Field in 2011, while the Truckers will head to Bedford in 2012.
Norwalk director of student activities David Rehnborg said Wednesday he’s still searching for a Week 5 opponent for 2011 and 2012.
When told Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas needed an opponent for that same week, he said he ran that idea past current NHS head coach Chris MacFarland and was given the thumbs down on that matchup.
“We’re still looking,” Rehnborg said about Week 5. “We’d love to pick up a two-year contract, but would play a team once. I’d love to have this scheduled before the end of the school year. If we find something, we’ll jump on it. We’ll play on a Saturday home or away if we have to, that’s not a problem.”
But Weeks 4 and 5 aren’t the only things that are changing in the NHS football schedule future.
This fall will mark the last time, at least in the foreseeable future, that Huron and Norwalk will play on the gridiron. Huron and the Truckers have played in football for more than 50 consecutive years. The 2010 game at Whitney Field might be the end of the series.
In 2011, Norwalk will travel to Keystone in Week 2, with the Wildcats coming to Norwalk for a Week 2 game in 2012.
Then, in 2013, Perkins will be bumped from the Week 3 schedule slot and Western Reserve will enter.
“I had talked with Coach MacFarland and he had talked about revamping the schedule a little bit,” Rehnborg said. “We were seeing a lot of teams from the SBC (Sandusky Bay Conference) and coach wanted to see a bigger variety of teams from different conferences, but still at the same level of football. Coach felt this was in the best interest of the program. Keystone isn’t too far from here and it should be a good game with a good gate.”
