According to the Vouchers Hurt Ohio website, several Mahoning Valley school districts have been members for one or more years since 2021, including Poland, Liberty, Springfield Local, South Range and Youngstown City.

“Rep. Callender presents his proposed legislation as though the coalition is somehow wasting school funds, using it on frivolous litigation. Our lawsuit uncovered a blatant problem in the way state lawmakers continue to inadequately and inequitably fund our public schools. Judge Page has already found this program, EdChoice, to be unconstitutional. State lawmakers should be appreciative that we have uncovered this unconstitutional issue so they can fix it,” William L. Phillis, with Vouchers Hurt Ohio and the Ohio Coalition for Equity & Adequacy of School Funding, stated.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Oluchi Okananwa had 17 points and 10 rebounds, Yarden Garzon added 17 points and No. 20 Maryland rallied from a 19-point deficit in the first half to beat eighth-ranked Ohio State 76-75 on Sunday.

It is the Terrapins largest comeback since Nov. 13, 2019, when they were down 19 in the fourth quarter at James Madison before posting a 70-68 victory.

Addi Mack had 14 points and Saylor Poffenbarger 13 for Maryland (21-6, 9-6 Big Ten), which beat a Top 10 team for the first time since it defeated Ohio State in the Big Ten quarterfinals two years ago.

It is also Maryland’s first win over a Top 10 team on the road since 2022 against Notre Dame.

Jaloni Cambridge had 29 points and Chance Gray a season-high 25 for the Buckeyes (22-4, 11-3), who had a four-game winning streak snapped.

Ohio State extended its lead to 38-19 on a 3-pointer by Gray before Maryland started to rally back.

The Terrapins trailed 46-31 at halftime, but got back in it in the third quarter, outscoring the Buckeyes 26-14. That included a 20-7 run at the beginning of the period that included six points by Garzon and five apiece by Okananwa and Mack.

Maryland took the lead by scoring the first 12 points of the fourth quarter. Mack’s 3-pointer with 8:17 remaining put the Terrapins up 62-60. They extended it to 69-60 before Ohio State made its comeback.

Ohio State had a 5:04 scoring drought when Maryland made its comeback.

The Buckeyes had a chance to win it after Maryland’s Kyndal Walker missed a free throw with 4 seconds remaining. Jaloni Cambridge got the rebound and Ohio State called timeout.

Cambridge tried a potential, game-winning 26-foot 3-pointer, but it went off the glass to give Maryland the win.
