Any other school year, senior night would take place towards the end of their respective seasons.

However, in the current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, Owensville High School athletic department officials decided to move up senior nights for softball, volleyball, football, band and cross country to next week in order to get them in while their respective seasons are still able to be played.

Senior night madness will begin next Tuesday after the Labor Day holiday with Owensville Dutchgirl softball hosting Union’s Lady Wildcats at 4:30 p.m., at OHS Field.

Senior softball players that will be recognized between the varsity and junior varsity games include Kaitlyn Nelson, Alyssa Belloir, Katelyn Landolt, Paige Bossaller and Gabby Bunners.
