Ohio High School Athletic Association member schools passed 14 proposed Constitution and Bylaw revisions, Commissioner Daniel B. Ross, Ph.D., announced Friday following ballot counting.

One item, regarding a proposed Constitution revision that would make it mandatory for schools to return a ballot, is a virtual tie and will be recounted next week. The OHSAA’s annual referendum voting period is from May 1‐15, with approved items going into effect August 1 unless otherwise noted.

After a total of 820 ballots were mailed in late April, 737 were returned for a voter turnout of 90 percent. Only 83 member schools did not return a ballot.

Invited by USA Volleyball, Ada High School sophomore, Melina Woods, recently attended a high performance camp at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.  She was one of 125 athletes invited to this event.

Woods was chosen by OVR (Ohio Valley Region) high performance coaches after representing OVR at the High Performance National Tournament last July.

A right side hitter, Woods is playing club volleyball for Elite 16 Black, out of Plain City.

There's more to this photo than meets the eye. After all, there's a "catch" to every story. This one has happy ending.

While pyramids are known to be mute, cheerleading pyramids are another matter. The Icon posted this photo Sunday night.  

Check out the photo below this story of the "catch"

Above, the guys and gals who cheer for the ONU men's basketball team built a tall human pyramid during a timeout in the game.

Below, well, that's the catch.

Somehow, they all landed safely on the ground when the cheer ended. (Monty Siekerman photo)
