Snodgrass estimated that the OHSAA would lose an estimated $1.4 million-$1.5 million in revenue should the tournaments be canceled. 'I cannot put kids at risk for this,' Snodgrass said.

Published 1:27 AM EDT Mar 21, 2020COLUMBUS - The question, 'Will the Ohio high school sports winter postseason continue or end?' Could be answered in the next 24-48 hours.As of March 19, Ohio High School Athletic Association officials said there are no changes to their decision to postpone winter sports postseason and the beginning of spring sports because of the new coronavirus pandemic.

The permanent cancellation of the 2020 winter tournaments is on the table, however, as is the end of the current spring sports schedule.On March 13 winter sports tournaments were postponed indefinitely and spring sports were delayed. The OHSAA imposed a no-contact rule from March 17-April 6 with a potential return to spring games April 11.In a press conference limited to 30 media members under guidelines by the Center for Disease Control, OHSAA commissioner Jerry Snodgrass said there will be no changes until there is further word on extended closings from Ohio Gov.

Mike DeWine.He estimated the financial impact on the OHSAA with winter cancellations to be nearly $1.4 to 1.5 million. Eighty percent of OHSAA's revenue comes through ticket sales, with thousands of dollars being returned when DeWine originally recommended limiting spectators.However, as everyone has learned in recent days, the news cycle is fast and ever-changing.' Extending our tournaments is very problematic on a lot of different fronts,' Snodgrass said. 'I don't expect every parent or fan to understand the reasons why, but nor will I put our schools or our venues and sites at risk to explain all of that. Most of us have seen now that so many facilities have closed through early June, that does become problematic.

There are a lot of factors that enter into when, how and why we may end up having to cancel our winter tournaments.' Should DeWine keep schools closed, the door closes further on spring activities, although sports like baseball and softball could possibly have short seasons and/or one postseason from mid-May into June. OSHAA gave member schools a tentative schedule of spring sports last Friday based on schools being closed until April 6.'

What will change that overnight will be any decision by the governor to extend closure of schools,' Snodgrass said. 'It doesn't mean that we are canceling, but is canceling on the table? It absolutely has to be on the table.' The current schedule has girls softball finals scheduled for June 4-5 at Akron's Firestone Stadium, with boys baseball set for June 11-13 at Akron's Canal Park. Snodgrass mentioned 'wiggle-room' to move those should closures be extended, but site availability then also comes into play. Other spring sports include lacrosse, track and field, boys tennis and boys volleyball, though the latter is not under the OHSAA.As of now, all sports have been under the 'no-contact' rule in terms of high school coaches and players in terms of social distancing. The OHSAA has strongly encouraged coaches to keep in contact with athletes via technology to distribute workouts and mental support.Non-school athletics are tougher to regulate, but the OHSAA has put out the strong edict that there be no involvement with club teams during this time be it non-school basketball or club baseball/softball teams.

Once 'no-contact' regulations were in force, some club organizations were instantly trying to gather participants.' We even had one site, I looked it up the very next day, called 'Corona baseball',' Snodgrass said. 'It was developing a league for these high school kids to get together and play, which totally contradicts the CDC's recommendations. They even used our logo. It's not about denying these kids opportunities, it's about attacking this virus the way we need to do it.' Snodgrass mentioned Thursday that ongoing discussions of extending winter seasons would continue over the next two days. Should the winter sports be declared officially over, Snodgrass didn't appear to be inclined to declare specific 'poll champions'. Should he do so, Moeller's boys basketball team and Mount Notre Dame's girls basketball team could declare Division I state championships.

It would be three in a row for Moeller and two in a row for MND. Wrestling is a different situation.'

We have not discussed it, but we have looked at all the different creative ways where we recognize,' Snodgrass said. 'Someone reached out to me and said, 'Would you just declare all 16 (remaining) girls basketball teams as champions?' I'm not into that. I'd have to look at the poll champion thing to see. I'm not really prepared to answer that.' While the winter outcomes look bleak, there are still many what-if scenarios to be played out for spring sports based on current information.Fall sports have yet to be discussed but are certainly on the OHSAA radar with many programs engaging in strength and conditioning through summer and most football programs doing organized work on fields by July.Also not yet discussed is the eligibility for fall sports, which is usually based on the previous semester's grades.

With possible cancellations, academic eligibility factors may be changed.' We will come back,' Snodgrass said. 'School athletics will come back. Now more than ever we need to be unified to help get them back. This is emotional. This is our life, too.

This is what we do every single day, work for our kids.' This story is being provided for free to our readers. Consider supporting local journalism by subscribing to The Enquirer at cincinnati.com/subscribe.

The Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) is the governing body of athletic programs for junior and senior high schools in the state of Ohio. The OHSAA governs eligibility of student athletes, resolves disputes, organizes levels of competition by divisional separation of schools according to attendance population, and conducts state championship competitions in all the OHSAA-sanctioned sports.

Membership[edit]

There are approximately 820 member high schools and 850 more schools in the 7th-8th grade division of the OHSAA. Most public and private high schools in Ohio belong to the OHSAA.^[1]

Structure[edit]

Districts[edit]

The Association is divided into six districts, each with its own District Athletic Board, including the Central District, East District, Northeast District, Northwest District, Southeast District, and Southwest District.

The District boards conduct Sectional and District tournaments. The main OHSAA board conducts Regional and State tournaments.^[2]

Classifications and divisions[edit]

Member high schools are divided into three classifications (A, AA, AAA). Prior to 1989 many sports held tournaments based on these classifications. Since then, each sport individually divides into numbered divisions based on enrollment, taking into account the total number of schools offering that varsity sport and placing an equal number of schools in each division.

History[edit]

The OHSAA is an unincorporated, non-profit organization founded in 1907. Members of the Western Ohio Superintendents' Round Table had frequently discussed the need of a central organization for high school athletics. In 1906 they passed a resolution to appoint a committee, headed by George R. Eastman, the first President of the Board of Control.

The first OHSAA-sponsored state tournament, Track and Field, was held on May 23, 1908, at Denison University. Columbus North became the first state champions, finishing ahead of Dayton Steele.^[1]

The OHSAA is currently headed by a commissioner.^[3] Prior to 1925, the Board of Control officers handled duties now associated with the Commissioner.

In 1979, OHSAA adopted a bylaw prohibiting out-of-state students from competing in OHSAA-sponsored activities. This rule was affirmed by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in the 1985 case Alerding v. Ohio High School Athletic Association, regarding St. Xavier High School students from Northern Kentucky.
