The OJHS Baseball team will play Bismarck-Henning for the Regional Championship on Saturday, September 26, at 11:00 am at Oakwood Junior High School.
The dugouts, bleachers and area behind the backstops will be open only to players and team/game personnel. This is to give teams ample space outside the dugouts to social distance when not in the field.
Baseball fans can sit outside the track lanes on their team’s side. We ask that fans practice social distancing.
Come out and support the OJHS Baseball team! Good luck Knights!
Anne Burton, Principal
