All-Ohio high school football honors: Mentor's Steve Trivisonno earns co-Coach of the Year in final season

The OHSAA announced its award winners and All-Ohio teams this week.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — It may not have ended with the state championship he or his team wanted, but Steve Trivisonno is still going out a winner.

The longtime head man at Mentor was honored as the OHSAA co-Football Coach of the Year for Division I on Wednesday. It marks a fitting end to his 23rd and final season leading the Cardinals and a tenure that saw him win 209 games and go to four state championship games.

Trivisonno, who shares the award with Groveport Madison's Bryan Schoonover, led Mentor to a 13-1 record and a No. 8 national ranking despite a roster that lost some big names from the year before. Many felt the Cardinals were on track for their first state title in school history, but they were upset 28-21 in the state semifinals.
