Good morning BlueJay fans. I hope this beautiful Sunday morning finds you well. With the end of basketball season, I wanted to say a big thank you for the support you have shown our student athletes. The support shown not just yesterday at the district finals of the boys game but every game since day 1. I am very proud to be apart of such a great community/family. I thought we had an amazing fan section yesterday. Most of these same fans made the trip to SCC for the girls championship game on Friday as well. THANK YOU!

Happy Friday BlueJay Fans! Boy has it been an exciting week of basketball. Just wanted to remind everyone that both our boys and girls teams will be playing for a District Championship this weekend. Girls will play Delta tonight at 6pm @ SCC for the title and our boys will be playing tomorrow at South Iron vs South Iron at 2pm for their District title game. I have tried to check past records, but I believe this is the first time that both our boys and girls teams will be playing for a title in the same year. It is truly outstanding and shows just how amazing our student athletes are at Oak Ridge. Don't forget all games are streamed from MSHSAA TV and best of luck to both our teams. I will post results throughout the weekend.
Varsity boys get a very exciting win tonight vs the #2 seed Bunker in the Class 1 District 3 District Tournament 71-68 on a last second shot. It was absolutely an amazing game. Congratulations team and coaches.
Boys will play in the championship game on Saturday 2/24@ South Iron vs South Iron at 2pm.
