Photo Gallery: Ohio's 'Tremendous 26'

In conjunction with the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association, the Ohio High School Football Guide honors a 'Tremendous 26' all-star team on the cover of their publication. As invited guests to the photo shoot on Sunday, the Bucknuts crew was on hand to take photograhs and conduct interviews at Ohio Stadium first and then over at a luncheon at the Buckeye Hall Of Fame Cafe. This year 34 players were named to the unit. Here's how some of the day looked in pictures.
