Yahoo28-02-2025
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association announced on Thursday that the wrestling state tournament will remain at Ohio State University's Schottenstein Center through 2027 after the two sides reached a contract extension.
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.

Pete Alonso gets heartfelt Darryl Strawberry message after breaking Mets' home run record

Pete Alonso stands alone — and the man he passed is now congratulating him. The Mets slugger set the franchise's all-time home run record on Tuesday night at Citi Field with his 253rd career blast, and Darryl Strawberry, who now sits in second place, had plenty of nice things to say to Alonso. 'Hey Pete, Darryl Strawberry here. I just want to say congratulations on breaking the home run record,' the Amazin's legend said in a video shared on the Mets' X feed. 'Listen, you have worked hard, you have stood up in the pressure of in New York City and you have played well. It is well-deserved, you are a homegrown player. 'And, congratulations, continue to have great success. All the best, buddy.' Strawberry spent the first eight years (1983-1990) of his career with the Mets, winning the 1983 National League Rookie of the Year Award, 1986 World Series and smacking 252 home runs. Alonso, now in his seventh year with the Mets, also won the 2019 NL ROY when he hit an MLB rookie record of 53 home runs. It started the first baseman on an impressive power pace with the Mets, as he blasted at least 30 home runs in each of his first five full seasons, not counting the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign. 3 Pete Alonso celebrates and acknowledges the fans after connecting on his franchise record-breaking 253rd home run during the Mets' home game against the Braves on Aug. 12, 2025.
