What do you want fed? This is a live feed of activity and results. He's sitting here as it happens and reporting the action.

There is not a video feed available. Thank OHSAA.

I'd like to do/say a lot of things to OHSAA, and "Thank you" is not one of them! :D

I seriously wonder why the state wrestling is not on TV. I would think the money and ratings would be there.

The finals inclusive of it's pageantry and competition are the greatest high school sporting events in Ohio in my opinion

I don't get it either, since they show basketball and football. Do they show volleyball as well? How about baseball and softball?

Yes, they show both volleyball and softball. I am uncertain about baseball only because I have never seen it.

Wrestling is one of the most followed sports in High School and they figure that people travel from every area of the state to follow the sport and if it was broadcast on TV some people would not travel to Columbus for a mini vacation and spend their money at the arena.When you really look at wrestling compared to other sports their is no other like it, it is the most physical and demanding of all the sports and requires alot of dedicated family and fans to travel and spend a ton of money.The football championship cost a family of 4 about $100.00 to enjoy the game and more if lodging is needed but the wrestling championship could cost that same family about $500.00 and then add in the cost of lodging and you are close to about $800.00 or more and they don't want to lose that kind of money.The football championships last about 3 hrs for the family to enjoy but the wrestling last 3 days from morning to night.I have only been to Columbus 1 time for the wrestling championship and it was one of the best experiences for my son and our family.

How does the OHSAA get money for lodging?

City of Columbus. My guess is that they have their hand in it, somehow.
