McNick's state volleyball final resumes after Nutter Center evacuated
Those attending the McNicholas state volleyball title match with Padua Franciscan have returned to the Nutter Center after an emergency evacuation.
The McNicholas High School volleyball team's state championship game against Padua Franciscan at the Nutter Center was briefly halted due to an emergency, according to the Ohio High School Athletic Association's X post. All attendees were safely evacuated from the building. Brendan Connelly, a reporter with The Enquirer, confirmed that everyone, including the teams, was back inside after detecting a burning smell while exiting.
The OHSAA Division III girls volleyball state championship match is currently experiencing a delay due to the incident. Further updates are forthcoming. The fire alarm was activated when a popcorn machine in an elevator being relocated to McLin Gymnasium for a Wright State women's match was moved and filled with smoke, causing the alarm to sound.
Fire trucks responded to the scene and addressed the situation. Both teams acknowledged the need for a 20-minute warm-up before resuming play. McNicholas had won the first set 25-20 before the evacuation.
