COLUMBUS —\u00a0The Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors has approved 14 requests from 11 schools to move up to Division I in specific fall and winter sports for the 2024-25 school year. The list does not include Richmond Heights, the three time defending state champion in boys basketball. No local schools made a request to move up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The requests were made possible by the passage of Referendum Item 1B that OHSAA member schools passed earlier this spring, which permits schools to request to move up to Division I on a sport-by-sport basis for one school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The movement results in a total of 24 adjustments in divisional placements across seven fall and winter sports, which includes several Division I schools moving down to Division II in specific sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No requests were denied. Schools have until June 25 to request to move up to Division I in wrestling, as those preliminary divisional breakdowns were just approved on June 9 by the OHSAA Board of Directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preliminary spring sport divisional assignments will be presented to the Board of Directors in August and schools will have until September 13 to request to move up to Division I in 2025 spring sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
