OCMS Boys Basketball traveled to Morgan County last night and came out with a 6th and 8th grade win. The 7th grade put up a good fight but came up just a little short. Our coaching staff is super proud of this group of kids as they keep supporting each other and look to involve everyone in the offense. They get better and better after every game and practice and their hard work is showing for itself. We appreciate everyone who's had a hand in making this a good season and supporting these kids. Our next game is tomorrow at Magoffin County.
