Congratulations to the OLCHS Boy Bowling Team who participated in the State Finals this past weekend and finished 10th place in State! This was our best finish at State since the 2013 team that finished in 5th place. Senior Charlie Dell was rolling well all weekend (pun intended) and finished tied for 10th place as an individual. He is an All-State medalist. This makes Charlie Oak Lawn’s 3rd All-State bowler and our first since 2015. Congratulations to Charlie Dell, Justin Canvin, David Bush, Vinny McBrien, Peter Garcia, Zach Shane, Decimus Pecina, Ethan Aguinaga, Coach Neubauer, and Coach Walery on a historic season. We are so proud of them all! Great work Spartans. #SpartanPride
