MARTINS FERRY Student athletes at Martins Ferry City Schools District will be following the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s standards rather than maintaining a set grade point average if they want to play sports.
On Tuesday’s school board meeting, the board voted to follow OHSAA guidelines for student athletic eligibility and eliminate the current 1.0 grade point average requirement, as well as approving the OHSAA guidelines for the 2021-22 school year and disregarding the fall waiver of requirements.
