An integral part of what made — and still makes — OLS so special is the basketball program. Started back in the 1960s by Coach Hoot Miller, the program gave hundreds of kids the opportunity to learn the game, experience the thrill of winning and the heartbreak of defeat, and develop strong character along the way. This special collection of OLS alumni stories, as well as those of the dedicated people who coached our teams, will take you on a nostalgic journey to the OLS basketball court during the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Enjoy!
