As is customary each session of the OPS Rec League, we honored one player in each age division with the REP THE O award.

We started the honor in 2022, shortly after the loss of one of our own, Owen Scheele, to an accelerated case of chronic myeloid leukemia.

This award is not performance-based, but rather focuses on sportsmanship, hard work, good conduct, teamwork and growth through the game of football.

Each team nominated one player, and the OPS Football staff chose the winner in each age division.

This is bigger than any title or championship, and we congratulate the winners and hope they continue to be a positive influence inside and outside of OPS!

Age 7-8: Gianni Baker, Hawkeyes
Age 9-10: Samuel Hogue, Tar Heels
Age 11-12: Karsyn Swick, Ducks
Age 13-14: Onik Denton, Longhorns

The end of an era...after more than 10 years with OPS, Eli is embarking on an exciting new chapter as the full-time strength coach for Fort Wayne FC.

It's impossible to put into words just how much she's meant to our OPS family. Her dedication, energy, and heart have touched so many lives here, and while we're sad to see her go, we couldn't be prouder of this next step in her journey.

If Eli has made a difference in your life or your athlete's journey, we'd love for you to share your favorite memories and best wishes below. Let's send her off with all the love she deserves!
