Good luck to OJHS 7th Grade Boys Basketball. Game time is 6:00 pm at Westville.

In addition, if you are attending the championship game (Salt Fork & Westville), please plan on arriving at 7:15. This will allow fans from the first game to exit and leave room for the following game. Westville can’t wait to see everyone and are hoping for some exciting games.
