CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches Association has released its All-Ohio teams for the 2025 season.
The teams below cover all seven divisions. The number of players honored in each division varies.
CLEVELAND — The remaining funds for the first stage of construction related to West Side Market transformation project have been secured, thanks to a $28 million investment package.
The deal was closed by the Cleveland Development Advisors (CDA) and Cleveland Public Market Corporation (CPMC), according to a press release. It includes various tax credits and funding.
“We are incredibly grateful and thrilled that the Market is receiving the largest investment financing package that CDA has made,” said Rosemary Mudry, executive director of Cleveland Public Market Corporation (CPMC), the nonprofit that operates West Side Market. “Working with our government, corporate, investment and philanthropic partners, we have been able to leverage a complex set of funding tools to take our first steps in bringing this ambitious vision to life. It’s a testament to the time, energy, and passion that so many in this community want to invest in the Market and its future.”
The release states that PNC Bank, National Association is New Market Tax Credits investor. They say PPG Industries, Inc. is the historic tax credit equity investor. The Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Healthy Food Financing Initiative is also providing a loan for $2 million.
“The remaining phase one financing comes from a coalition of government, corporate, and foundation partners, including $23 million from the City of Cleveland,” the release reads.
Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb said, without the New Markets Tax Credits, there would be no West Side Market project.
“These credits unlock investment in communities that traditional markets have long overlooked,” he said in the release. “They don’t just help projects happen — they help communities rise.”
Yvette Ittu, president and CEO of the CDA, said this serves as a statement of purpose.
“The West Side Market is one of the few places where Cleveland’s history, culture, neighborhoods and economy come together,” Ittu said in the release. “Our largest investment to date is in a public market that nourishes our people, supports small businesses and connects communities. That’s the kind of future we’re proud to build.”
The first stage of the renovations amount to $53 million and includes overhauling infrastructure, adding new food storage coolers, a commercial kitchen and more, according to the release. It will also transform the East Arcade, adding HVAC and basement access.
Other phases will include work to the North Arcade and Courtyard, a basement renovation and the addition of seating and private event and educational space/programs.
The release states that the project will retain 250 jobs and create 144 new ones. They also say it will support more than 425 construction jobs.
In total, the transformation project will amount to $68 million in renovations to the market.
“A community asset like the Market needs broad community support,” CPMC board president David Abbott said in the release. “We are extremely grateful for the public, corporate and philanthropic investment we have received so far, and we are eager to enlist an even wider array of backers so we can finish this important job.”

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) announced Wednesday that over 360,000 Ohio families have begun receiving partial November SNAP benefits.
What to know about the status of SNAP food aid ahead of vote to end shutdown
According to a release, on partial Wednesday morning, the ODJFS had processed $66.8 million in patial SNAP benefits for about 364,000 Ohio households, just over half of the 716,000 households that are set to receive SNAP benefits for November.

Benefits are being issued in batches due to the large number of recipients. So, all Ohio SNAP recipients who remain eligible will have their benefits issued within the next few days.
“Based on the latest guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) amid the ongoing federal government shutdown, ODJFS made the necessary system changes this week to begin issuing benefits. The federal guidance instructs ODJFS to reduce the maximum amount each household can receive in November by 35% and to recalculate each household’s payment based on that new maximum amount. It is a two-step process, first requiring ODJFS to calculate the new payment amount, then transmitting those amounts for each household to its Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) vendor to issue to recipients through their Ohio Direction (EBT) card.”
SNAP recipients are encouraged to check their balances through their Connect EBT app or Ohio Benefits Self Service Portal.

ODJFS said it will not know the total amount of partial November benefits until all benefits are processed. The exact amount each household will receive is based on factors such as gross and net income and allowable deductions, such as housing and medical costs.
“Under the revised federal calculations, nearly all recipients will receive less than 65% of their normal benefit. Some recipients, particularly those whose earnings place the household near the cutoff for eligibility, may receive no benefits this week under the revised calculation. An official notice explaining each household’s specific benefit change will be issued,” the release said.
ODJFS said that before the government shutdown, about 1.4 million Ohioans received $264 million in food benefits from SNAP each month. Once the government shutdown ends, additional guidance will determine how to handle the difference between what would normally be issued and what is being issued this week.
