‘One of a Kind’ Cotie McMahon partners with State Champs: a March Madness dream come true

Last year, Ohio State women’s basketball hosted the James Madison Dukes in the NCAA Tournament’s First Round. After going down 12 points in the first quarter, the Buckeyes charged back to soundly move into the Second Round. In the crowd was Ally Eclarin, co-founder of State Champs, watching forward Cotie McMahon take the game over.

“I distinctly remember sitting at the tournament game, when they played JMU, looking over to my co-founder and being like ‘one day we are gonna work with her,’” said Eclarin.
