The basketball teams at OCS are accustomed
to winning. Frequently finishing at or near the
top of their leagues, the teams excite their
fans with championship play. In the 20122013 season, the middle school boys’ team

School Athletic Association playoffs.

In the 2010-2011 season, the sixth-grade
boys’ team finished the year as sixth-grade
champions, while the middle school boys’
team placed second in the league. None of
that tops 2009, however, when the boys’
middle school, junior varsity, and varsity
teams, as well as the girls’ team, were all
citywide champions.
