OH boys and girls lacrosse have both been improving tremendously throughout the spring season. With a mix of players that have previous lacrosse experience and some new faces, everyone is working hard to find the strategies for both teams' success.

The week building up to prom brings many opinions for attending students. Many worry about what to wear or who to go with, but some students also have to worry about promposals.
Just like asking someone to homecoming, promposals are done by a student inviting another student to attend prom with them.
"I'm really excited for this year," said OH senior Mikey Claycombe. "It's my senior year and I know my girlfriend is gonna be really happy and excited."
The OH girls’ softball team is preparing for the upcoming season as spring approaches, and today they play at Ottawa today provided the game isn’t cancelled. The team intends to reach State after achieving first place last year, and they are ready to work hard to achieve their goals.
Head Varsity Coach Annie Scaramuzzi has plenty of optimism for the girls this season.
“With a strong core of returning players and some talented new additions, there’s a lot of energy and optimism heading into this season,” she said.
For the first time since 2002, OH girls' gymnastics qualified for State, earning an impressive 5th place finish. Senior Ava Sullivan then achieved the title of State Champion on vault.
OH gymnastics coach Micheal Borge said, “Knowing that we qualified, something a gymnastics team hadn't done since 2002, was an incredibly cathartic event.”
OH senior Jules Hawkins has been on the cheer team all four years of their athletic career. Hawkins has impacted the team positively with their talent here and will continue to leave a lasting mark on the program.
Hawkins has been a standout athlete while being a varsity team member with their skills.
“I’ve been on varsity since I think freshman year, I did football season my freshman year on junior varsity but after that it's been varsity ever since,” said Hawkins.
Interestingly enough, Hawkins started freshman year by accidentally joining the OH cheerleading team, intending to join the dance team, but ended up finding the perfect fit.
