Starting off strong: Panthers ranked 20th in State, play Yorkville Foxes tonight

With a record 4-1 and on the heels of a State appearance last season, the OH varsity football team is ranked 20th in State and third in Conference (1-1) according to MaxPreps. As the season progresses with a game against Yorkville tonight, expectations are on the rise - and not only for wins. “Wins aren’t the only thing that matters,” Head Coach Brian Cooney said. “When school starts, we start talking about what conduct in the halls [[or]] on social media looks like.” Cooney and the other coaches hold their players to high standards during both regular and off season. They want their players to show pride and resilience no matter what time of year it is to emphasize the good sportsmanship in everyone. These expectations have had a strong impact on the players.

Coming Soon: What does the film industry have in store for the rest of ’26?

OH staff and students alike are ready for the continuation of the 2026 movie run as the weather turns cooler. Varying from Resident Evil to Avengers: Doomsday, the remainder of 2026 has many eagerly-anticipated movies coming out. Over the summer, we got some great movies of all kinds, but I and my OH friends are excited to see what's in store for the winter and fall. OH English 4 Critical Interpretations of Literature Forms & Composition teacher Amy Severinski said, “I’m really excited about the Tom Cruise movie... Digger," which opens on Oct. 2 and has been nominated as the Most Anticipated Film at the Astra Midseason Movie Awards. “I hope there’s also some strong stuff later on this year,” Severinski added when asked if she thinks this second wave of movies will be better than the first.
