With the new regions and subsequent geographic alignments in high school football this fall, it makes for mixes of teams you wouldn't otherwise put together in the same breath.

It could make for some long road trips for The News-Herald area contingent as well, depending of course on who makes the Week 11 field.

Considering that, I thought it may be interesting to see what could potentially be the most extreme road trips that could face N-H teams and their opponents. Regardless of who hosts, someone would probably need a long playlist for their MP3 player.

So here they are, the longest possible road trips featuring an N-H team in each region, with mileage and time needed to get there according to Google Earth. These in all likelihood will never come to fruition, but with everybody 0-0 at the moment it's possible:

DIVISION I
Region 1
MENTOR vs. Olentangy Liberty: 161 miles; 2 hours, 38 minutes

DIVISION II
Region 3
BRUSH vs. Boardman: 73 miles; 1 hour, 12 minutes

DIVISION III
Region 7
GENEVA vs. Louisville: 100 miles; 1 hour, 44 minutes

Region 8
LAKE CATHOLIC vs. Defiance:183 miles; 2 hours, 58 minutes

DIVISION IV
Region 11
BENEDICTINE vs. East Liverpool: 102 miles; 1 hour, 47 minutes

DIVISION V
Region 15
BEACHWOOD vs. Harrison Central: 110 miles; 1 hour, 54 minutes

DIVISION VI
Region 19
KIRTLAND vs. Newcomerstown: 110 miles; 1 hour, 49 minutes

DIVISION VII
Region 23
FAIRPORT vs. Danville:124 miles; 2 hours, 21 minutes
