COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Dayton is set to remain the home of the Ohio High School Athletic Association basketball finals for another two years.

Dayton’s contract to host the basketball finals began in 2021. Columbus was scheduled to host the 2020 finals but the OHSAA cancelled all winter sports championships as the COVID-19 pandemic began.
The 2025 OHSAA basketball championships are set to take place from March 13-15 for the girls and from March 21-23 for the boys. Last year, central Ohio’s Africentric girls team added a ninth championship to extend its record for the most girls basketball titles in Ohio. They will be looking for a three-peat in 2025.
