The Ohio High School Athletic Association is actively seeking venues for multiple 2021 state tournaments, including the basketball and wrestling tournaments that typically are held on Ohio State’s campus.
The OHSAA this week announced that four state tournaments — boys and girls basketball, wrestling and and hockey — are currently without a venue, with state tournaments for winter sports scheduled to begin in late February and March.
The boys basketball state tournament originally scheduled for March 18-20 in St. John Arena and the girls tournament scheduled on March 11-13 at the University of Dayton will not, in all likelihood, be held at those sites. The wrestling state tournament is still scheduled for March 12-14, but won’t be held at the Schottenstein Center.
It is not known if Nationwide Arena can host the hockey state semifinals and final on March 13-14.

Not surprising news given the patchwork of contagion restrictions across the state. At least they are planning to play.

There's plenty of tremendous high schools across the state that would be more than willing to host the event.
Probably a few smaller colleges too that wouldn't mind hosting it.

The Convo
Athens, Ohio.
It's a perfect place for a scaled down version of the state tournament.

We all know they aren’t going to let the southeast district have it. They’d rather take it to like Cleveland State or Bowling Green

Ohio University has nixed the District and Regional Tournament so I would say the State is out as well. OHSAA will take it to Florida if they have to, whichever and however they can make the most money. Who can blame them? This is a disease that has killed 0.016 of the population in the United States!
