OLPH FOOTBALL - The OLPH Homecoming Football Game was cancelled on Friday night, but it was a great atmosphere nonetheless. What a crowd (on a rainy Friday night no less). Thanks to the many who made it a nice evening. The players, parents and coaches have thoroughly enjoyed the season. Aside from too much rain, we couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for your support, it is sincerely appreciated. It has been a great year - the boys have put in a lot of work this year, and the coaches were happy for them to have such a platform on which to perform. The OLPH football varsity championship game is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13th. The 11/12 year old team remains undefeated this season and hopefully the Knoxville game will be made up soon!!
