-- Earlier this week, the Ohio High School Hoops website was mysteriously replaced by a GoDaddy.com placeholder. I emailed OHSH.com guru Kurt Stubbs to find out what the deal was:
Did you forget to pay your GoDaddy.com bill or something? I can't access your site.
I frequently include links to OHSH.com in my columns because of the great job you do covering Ohio kids. Keep up the good work...and pay your bill!
Kurt’s response:
I have to admit that Go Daddy pulled one over on me...that is all I am going to say about that… lol...please make this correction the site is now under the domain of
www.ohiohshoops.com
Glad to see it all worked out, Kurt. Change your bookmarks accordingly, kids!
