The 2010-2011 boys basketball campaign came to a screeching halt with last night's 52-41 sectional defeat at the hands of the New Haven Shamrocks at Park Hills Central High School. A cold start that saw the Eagles fall behind 12-4 after one quarter and 24-11 at half-time proved too large a deficit to overcome. Oran mounted a valiant fourth quarter comeback that pulled them to within 5 points on two occasions but were unable to get closer. New Haven made 7 of 8 free throws in the final frame to lead to the 11 point setback.
Oran finished the season at 19-9 that saw them win their first district title since 1999. The last three years under Head Coach Joe Shoemaker the Eagles are 46-35 and have posted back to back winning seasons for the first time in nearly a decade.
This was the final game for 8 seniors. They are Zac Chasteen, Tyler Heuring, Dillon Kimball, Reece Mangels, Nathan Michelsen, Jon Morrow, Preston Scherer and Nolan Urhahn. It's been a lot of fun watching these guys at the varsity level after most of them started playing up in the second half of their sophomore season.
Remember guys, next year at this time, there will be a Blue and Gold banner with your names on it hanging from the rafters of O.H.S. Proud of the whole team.
