Members of the Ohio High School Athletic Association's Competitive Balance Committee met at the OHSAA office Tuesday, January 31, and came to the consensus that they will continue to study the competitive balance issue, Commissioner Daniel B. Ross, Ph.D., said.

She's a Buckeye. Lydia Guagenti, Bluffton High School senior, signed a national letter of intent today to attend Ohio State University. There she will be a member of the women's track and field team.

She is only the fourth Bluffton High School girl to play athletics in a Big Ten program. Ann Stechschute attended Purdue, Caity Matter attended Ohio State and Carrie Fett attended Purdue.

In addition to completing in team sports, Megan Dunlap, BHS grad, was a cheerleader at Ohio State.

Plenty of all-session and single-session tickets will be available for the 2012 Ohio High School Athletic Association Boys and Girls State Basketball Tournaments, and public sales of tickets for both tournaments will begin soon through Ticketmaster or in person at The Ohio State University's Jerome Schottenstein Center, the site of both state tournaments that take place in March.

It didn't take the Bluffton High School boys' 4x200m relay team long to capture a victory: a minute and 38 seconds, to be exact. The team beat out Liberty-Benton's "A" team by a full second to take the division II/III title at The University of Findlay's High School Invitational on Sunday.
