Salem standout Amy Scullion chooses Ohio State — for basketball

By Joe Scalzo

Arguably the best volleyball player in the history of the Mahoning Valley finally made her college decision.

But not in the sport everyone expected.

Salem High’s Amy Scullion has verbally committed to play basketball at Ohio State.

“It definitely was a really hard decision,” said Scullion, a first team All-Ohioan in volleyball and a third team all-state selection in basketball. “It came down to Ohio State being the school I wanted to be at.

“I love the atmosphere and I love the university. I jumped at the chance.”

Scullion follows in the footsteps of her older sister Katie, who was a freshman at Ohio State this school year, and her parents, who both graduated from OSU’s optometry school.
