The preceding was sent in by track coach Bob Finch.  I want to thank Coach Finch for taking the time to write up track results and sending them to OCHS Sportsblog.  It’s a great help to me and is much appreciated.  

Also, OCHS Sportsblog has been lacking over the past several weeks.  Since early February, Cary Best, of Georgia Snaps Photography and I have been very busy covering rec. league basketball and doing team and individual pictures as well as action shots for little league.  It happens that the first three months of the year are our busiest time with something going on if not most week nights then every weekend.  I want to thank all those who have been checking in at OCHS Sportsblog even though the posts have been sparse.
