Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced Tuesday afternoon that all indoor sporting events in Ohio, including high school, collegiate and professional sports, shall continue without most spectators in attendance as Ohio seeks to contain the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19.
“This will be a very difficult time for our schools and fans, but we cannot ignore the directive of the Governor,” OHSAA Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass said.
“We are pleased that our tournaments can continue and we will soon determine who can attend. However, we can already say that it will most likely be no more than the immediate family of the student-athletes participating in the event.”
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Dr. Amy Action, Director of the Ohio Department of Health announced that there are three confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ohio, all in Cuyahoga County.
Governor DeWine also declared a State of Emergency, which he described as a necessary legal step that enables government to do what is necessary to respond quickly, and also makes it easier to procure needed supplies.
According to Allen County Health Commissioner Kathy Luhn, “This is what we have expected. We continue to work with our local and state partners to protect our community.”

And that's flowing water contained in glass with fish-like objects surrounding the water-flowing stream.The wire sculptures were created by former ONU First Lady Toby Baker.
Ada HS grad and ONU freshman Chase Sumner was a late addition to the 180-man field for the 2020 NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships March 13-14 at Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Sumner received a bid on Monday after a Central Regional qualifier from his 149-pound weight class became injured and could not compete.
Per NCAA rules, the fourth place finisher from the same region as the injured wrestler assumes that spot in the tournament.
Sumner joins ONU senior Seth Transue (Plain City/Jerome) and junior Cash Thompson (Lake Odessa, Mich./Lakewood) as Polar Bears at the Championships.
The Ada Kiwanis Club began a yearly tradition in the late winter of 1952 by sponsoring a Pancake and Sausage Day at the American Legion Hall in downtown Ada. That tradition has continued for the past 67 years.
The event has been held at various Ada locations: the Legion Hall, the Ada First United Methodist Church, the Ada V.F.W. and in recent years, the Ada High School Cafeteria.
The menu has remained the same: all-you-can eat whole hog sausage and pancakes.
Planning for the 2020 event began months ago and tickets went on sale just a few weeks ago.
