IHS Wrestling Tournament

Independence will be hosting an OHSAA Division 3 District Wrestling Tournament on February 28th & March 1st. For all OHSAA tournament events held at Independence High School, all spectators will need to purchase a ticket as we can not accept our Independence Passes or CVC Passes for these events. Please note there is also no senior discount available for these events. Thank you for your understanding as we are excited that our Blue Devil Athletes will be able to play tournament games here at Independence.

Tickets for OHSAA tournament games will be available for purchase online at: https://www.ohsaa.org/tickets and there will also be cash sales available at the door.

Thanks!

Brett Diehl
