The Boys Basketball program will be hosting their annual youth basketball camp this June (19th - 22nd). It will be held in the Middle School gym instead of the high school due to continuing complications from the fire.
The camp will be led by newly hired head coach Lyndon Jason and assistant coaches Luke Litwiller, Justin Slager, and Andrew Litwiller. Current high school players will also be present to help out. Other information can be found on the attached flyer.
To register your boy(s), fill out the information form on the flyer and send in to the high school office. FORMS ARE DUE BY MAY 27TH but would appreciated before then.
Reminder: Girls Cross Country sign up/informational meeting for 23/24 season is today right after school. Meet in the OHS media center/library. This will be a quick meeting!
