OGHS Archery team:
Good Morning,
My name is Melissa Bowersox and I am the head coach of OGHS Archery Team. I am reaching out to area businesses to see if they’d like to donate some very much needed equipment to the team. We are currently in need of Easton 1820 arrows for tournaments, NASP approved block targets, Genesis right handed arrow rests and an additional arrow curtain for shooting in the gym. Any donations large or small will help us tremendously. I can be reached via email at [email protected] or at 304-479-9026 if you’d like to discuss!

Only one person turned in any catfish. He had two, so he was able to get 1st and 2nd place. Congrats to Chris Knox of East Liverpool, OH with a 25” Flathead for longest, and a 20 1/2” Flathead for lucky draw. The number was 21. Water temperature was 75 degrees and muddy from all the
