OHSAA announces future wrestling state tournament site
This year's state tournament will take place March 7-9.
In 2026 the state tournament will be March 13-15 and in 2027 the dates are March 12-14.
'There is no other place in Ohio that can do a better job hosting our wrestling state tournament,' said Doug Ute, OHSAA Executive Director. 'Our wrestling state tournament is literally built into the Schottenstein Center. The size of the arena floor allows us to start with 10 mats and have a double-elimination format tournament. And there are enough seats for our growing wrestling community, which now includes the girls' state tournament.'
The Schottenstein Center has hosted the OHSAA wrestling state tournament every year since 1999, except in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Red Sox Getting Dustin May A Year Removed From Life-Threatening Emergency
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. When the Red Sox acquired Dustin May at the trade deadline, many Boston fans were at least somewhat familiar with the right-handed starting pitcher. He took the mound just last weekend at Fenway Park, taking the loss after allowing four runs over five innings while striking out five, and he drew plenty of attention when helping the Dodgers to a World Series victory in the 2020 COVID-era postseason. Yet Red Sox fans may not know the long journey May's had to take to remain on the mound in the majors since that championship, as the 27-year-old underwent three surgeries in three years. Two of those were fairly common for a professional pitcher, as he underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021 and then had a Tommy John revision in 2023. But the third surgery, which came in 2024, came under emergency circumstances in a freak accident that could have cost May his life. BOSTON, MA - JULY 27: Dustin May #85 of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitches against the Boston Red Sox during the first inning at Fenway Park on July 27, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. BOSTON, MA - JULY 27: Dustin May #85 of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitches against the Boston Red Sox during the first inning at Fenway Park on July 27, 2025 in Boston, the summer of 2024, May was dining at a restaurant when a piece of salad got stuck in his throat. He tried to clear the lettuce with water to no avail. At the urging of his wife, he headed to the emergency room later that night, where doctors determined he had a torn esophagus. May recounted the tale of his emergency esophagus surgery with reporters at spring training, telling the Los Angeles Times that it was "basically a full abdominal surgery" that left a scar from his chest to his stomach. "(The salad) just got lodged in my throat a certain way," May told "Instead of going down, it went out. I would have been six feet under that night." "It just kind of gives me a different viewpoint on a lot of things in life," May added to the Times. "Just seeing how something so non-baseball-related can just be like -- it can be gone in a second. And the stuff it put my wife through, it definitely gave me [a feeling] of, 'Wow, stuff can change like that.' It was definitely very scary." That surgery set May back in his recovery from that second Tommy John procedure, as he was unable to lift weights for six months following the surgery. Yet he's returned this season and made 18 starts for the Dodgers, second-most on the roster. His numbers have understandably dipped, with the Texan posting a 6-7 record with a 4.85 ERA and 1.346 WHIP. But after entering the season with a career high of 56 innings pitched, he's already at 104 this year -- an accomplishment that wouldn't have been possible without that life-saving surgery a year ago.

Empty benches tell the story at girls' soccer games
With fewer girls showing up to play and rosters thinning out, Cambridge Youth Soccer is considering an intercity league to keep its under-18 recreational division alive and engaging. The number of girls registering for the U18 division has dropped significantly in recent years — down from 150 in 2016 to just over 40 this season. But beyond registration, what's hurting teams most is attendance. 'The first couple of weeks, they were all showing up, but now I'm lucky if six or seven girls show up,' said Gabriela Jamieson, a volunteer coach and former competitive player. 'We end up having to just do one big game with all the girls combined.' Jamieson coaches one of four U18 teams. Though there are enough players on paper, most games have become unofficial scrimmages because of low turnout. 'Some of them are having health problems or are too busy to show up every week,' she said. 'Only a few girls will message me on a weekly basis to let me know if they would be attending the game or not.' Kaela Ponte, programs manager at Cambridge Youth Soccer, says this trend isn't just local. 'There has been a decrease in the number of recreational registrations for high school-aged females,' she said. 'We've talked about putting together almost like an intercity type of league — that's something we're exploring going forward.' Ponte said clubs in nearby Guelph and Kitchener are seeing similar drops and could be part of a future shared league. Talks are expected to resume this winter, with a possible launch in the 2026 season. In Cambridge, U18 numbers have steadily fallen each year, with a particularly steep decline after COVID. Ponte says the pandemic changed how many teens approach sports. 'They got comfortable being at home,' she said. 'And really just … they don't have the time.' She also pointed to the rise of other year-round sports, such as cheerleading and beach volleyball, as competition for teens' time and energy. 'A lot of sports that used to be seasonal … are now 10 months out of the year,' she said. 'We don't have those seasonal participants who are just coming in to just recreationally play and enjoy the sport.' Even among the girls who do register, summer vacations often cut into attendance. 'We typically see for the first four to five weeks of the season, attendance is fantastic,' Ponte said. 'And then … the month of July is a bit wishy-washy just because lots of people go on vacation.' Despite that, both Jamieson and Ponte say support from families remains strong. 'There's probably at least 15 parents and family and friends that come to support them on the sidelines,' Jamieson said. 'When the players do show up, the parents are invested,' Ponte added. 'But because it's recreational, sometimes people view it as optional.' Jamieson, who just moved back to Cambridge after school, says she's doing what she can to make soccer feel fun and worth showing up for. 'I try to get the girls as engaged and excited as possible,' she said. 'I know I'm not much older than them, so I try to be all fun and chatty with them at the games … I'd like to see (the league) continue to thrive.' Error!

Former Kansas City Chiefs OL Lucas Niang signs with the Washington Commanders
Former Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Lucas Niang, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter, has signed a new deal with the Washington Commanders to join them at training camp. The Chiefs selected Niang in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft, highly touted out of TCU, with hopes of him becoming the starting offensive tackle of the future. He opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns and was named the starting right tackle for the 2021 season, but was limited due to various injuries. In Week 17, while at left tackle, he suffered a torn patellar tendon, ending his year. From 2022 to 2024, Niang floated between the reserve/PUP (physically unable to perform) list and practice squad for the remainder of his Chiefs career. He was a member of both the Super Bowl LVII and Super Bowl LVIII teams but wasn't active. Niang will battle for a chance to make the Commanders in camp and continue his NFL career after several setbacks.
