OHS Weekly Sports Recap

To kick off the week of OHS activities, on the 16th the Boys and Girls Cross Country teams both competed in the St. Anthony Invite. In this meet, most of the girls and boys from the teams placed in the top forty. The Boys Team got first overall in this meet and the Girls Team got second overall. 
    
The Girls Swim team had a meet at Porta High School where the team did really well. Isabelle Forrest got first in the 200 IM and the team also got first and second in the 200 Medley Relay. Just like many other fall sports, their postseason is fast approaching with their sectional meet two weeks from now. With only a few weeks left of normal meets, the season will soon come to an end and winter sports will be starting.

Volleyball started off their week with a two-set loss against Monticello on Tuesday. They played on Thursday against Tolono Unity and lost in three sets. On Saturday they played their final game of the season before their postseason against Mt. Pulaski. Volleyball’s postseason begins this Monday so let’s all hope for a great start for the team.
    
JV football played Central Catholic on Monday, winning 50-6. On Thursday the Freshman team faced Pontiac and beat them 46-13. At an away game at Pontiac on Friday, the Varsity football team competed in their last game of the season. Due to their record, they wouldn’t be able to compete in the playoffs, but the football team still gave it all for their last game of the season, coming back from an 8-28 game and ended up winning 38-28. They didn’t allow Pontiac to score any more touchdowns after the first half of the game. Despite their rocky season, the football team ended on a high note and the seniors took home a win for their last football game at Olympia.
