The Delaware County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 18 honored two Olentangy school athletic teams with proclamations recognizing state championships and the students’ accomplishments.
The board adopted a proclamation congratulating the Olentangy Liberty High School girls lacrosse team for winning back-to-back state championships. Jack Feddy, deputy superintendent for Olentangy, introduced Coach Bosco and several players; captains and seniors described the team’s season and recruiting commitments. The proclamation noted the Patriots defeated Upper Arlington in the final, finished the season 23–1 and were ranked No. 1 in the state and eighth nationally by MaxPreps.
Later the board honored the Olentangy High School boys baseball team (the Braves) for winning the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I championship on June 15, 2025, beating Springboro 2–1 in the final at Canal Park in Akron. Coach Ryan Lucas and athletic director Johnny Hennessy summarized the season, noting a 24–7 record and a 16-game winning streak to close the season. Commissioners read the proclamation congratulating players, coaches and community supporters.
Both proclamations were read aloud and the board invited coaches and student-athletes to the front for photos. The board approved both resolutions by unanimous vote.
