The Oilers ESports Program is performing well this morning at IHSEA State!
Just received word that today's third place basketball game at the Dupo Cat Classic is scheduled to tip at 12:30, not 1:00. OGB vs. Mt. Olive.
Today, 35 EAWR students took a trip to shop for area kids off of the Christmas giving tree before having lunch at Moonlight and dessert at Cafe Creations. A great day for all and a wonderful opportunity to give back to our community.
Congratulations to Jordan Ealey on being named Midwest Members November Oiler of the Month!
Congratulations to our All Conference Football players!
