OA Athletics Update:
Good Afternoon OA School Community,
The Athletic Department was informed early this afternoon that the home football game scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, October 25, 2024, vs. Johnson City, will be canceled as Johnson City has forfeited the remainder of its season.
As you may know, this was also scheduled to be OFA football senior recognition night. The coaching staff and athletic department are working on a plan for a rescheduled football senior recognition ceremony.
Once new plans are in place, that information will be shared with the players, families, and the school community.
Please reach out through Let’s Talk! with any questions - https://www.oacsd.org/page/lets-talk
