Students participated in their annual Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament today hosted by Sources of Strength group! Students picked up beads as they came into school and were encouraged to challenge others during passing times to gain as many beads as possible. When students earned a minimum of five beads, they could challenge staff for their coveted disco ball beads! At the end of the day, students and staff gathered in the PAC for the Sweet 16 Tournament with the winner receiving a $10 gift certificate and a box of Cosmic Brownies! Congratulations to Eli B for being this year's Rock, Paper, Scissor Champ!!

Finally, on Thursday, the Varsity boys went on the road to Winnebago Lutheran Academy where they managed to earn the conference sweep in extra innings with a score of 3-2! This is their first conference sweep in four years! Keep it up, Foxes!!!

The Foxes hit the road Wednesday, taking on the challenge at Camelot Golf Course and battling their way to a 5th-place finish out of 8 teams!

Leading the varsity charge were Tyler Roe and Keagan M, both carding impressive 46s, with Deven H close behind at 47.

• Providing snacks for the math team
• Stall mats for the equestrian team
• Uniforms for the powerlifting team
• Uniforms for the dance team
  
• Nets and standards for volleyball
  
• Coach bus to wrestling tournament in Michigan

This is OBF's major fundraiser and provides them with much of the funds to help support our students, so please consider supporting this event. Only open to the first 36 teams.
