For decades, Gold Star has been a Cincinnati tradition, supporting local communities, schools and the people who make our region special. TriStateFootball.com is proud to continue that tradition through our long-standing partnership, which has highlighted outstanding performances each week with our Team of the Week program.
As TriStateFootball.com celebrates its 22nd season, we’re excited to expand that partnership as Gold Star becomes the presenting sponsor of our Preseason and Postseason All-TSF Teams. Together, we’re recognizing more of the student-athletes, coaches and teams who make Tri-State high school football one of the nation’s best.
