OHSAA Circle of Champions

About The Circle of Champions

Beginning with the 2006-07 school year in conjunction with the Ohio High School Athletic Association centennial, the OHSAA has selected individuals who had prominent roles in the history of Ohio interscholastic athletics to become members of the OHSAA's Circle of Champions. The honorees not only had outstanding achievements at the high school level, but also have had outstanding achievements after their prep careers ended, have displayed outstanding character and serve as role models. The members are honored each year at the boys state basketball tournament in March.
