The McNicholas High School volleyball team’s state championship volleyball game with Padua Franciscan was briefly delayed due to an emergency at the Nutter Center, Wright State University, according to a Ohio High School Athletic Association post on X.
Everyone attending the OHSAA Division III girls volleyball state championship match was safely evacuated from the building.

According to The Enquirer’s Brendan Connelly, who was among those evacuated, everyone is back inside after smelling something burning on the way out.
Per OHSAA media relations director Tim Stried, a popcorn maker in an elevator set off the fire alarm as it was being moved from the Nutter Center to McLin Gymnasium for a Wright State women’s match. It’s unclear whether the machine actually caught fire, but the elevator filled with smoke, which set off the alarm.
Fire trucks dispatched to the scene handled the issue and players were back on the court getting in a 20-minute warm-up before play continued. Both coaches asked for and agreed to that warmup.
McNicholas had won the first set 25-20 before the evacuation.
