COLUMBUS – Beginning in 2010, the Ohio High School Athletic Association will extend its current partnership with Wilson Sporting Goods Co. by five years to continue as the official football supplier of the OHSAA.

Wilson has been involved with the OHSAA since 2002 and off the field is extending the relationship by becoming involved with OHSAA student-based programs such as student leadership conferences and scholarship support for student-athlete academic achievements.

In addition, Wilson will be involved with the OHSAA’s First Friday program, which promotes prostate cancer awareness and takes place on one of the first Fridays of each football season.

“We have a great relationship with Wilson and are pleased that it is growing,” said OHSAA Commissioner Dr. Dan Ross.
