TEAM PREVIEW:With a new head coach in John Bianchi, the Eagles expect to keep the same mind set to compete in the SIAA. Coming of a overall (27-9) and district (10-3) season under Coach Jordan Fair now Louisville Graduate Asst. Coach, we will be looking at a different team. This team has the size in the key additions of 6’11” 2017 C Micheal Durr and 2017 6’9″ F Stefon Fisher. making there front court dominant. With the quickness of top returning 6’5″ 2018 PG Elijah Weaver this team can be scary. Look for potential huge x-factor play from 2018 SG Dj Mitchell. It will be hard to match the talent of the Eagles, there ready to make a statement this year.Talking to Coach Bianchi about his adjustments to become Head Coach at OCS he stated “It was a tough transition at first with him (Jordan Fair) leaving in April and transitioning so quickly into the season but, we have been blessed enough though to bring in all of the right players and personal we need to be successful and make it back to the state finals which made the transition a success thus far. It’s been such a blessing to be in the position and being able to be apart of such a great program for years with coach Jordan and coach Pannone and now it’s time to keep the legacy going.“
