Olpe will celebrate perhaps like it never has in town history over the next few days.
The Eagles and Lady Eagles swept the Class 1A Division 1 state title basketball games Saturday. The Lady Eagles knocked off Norwich 42-25 to win their fourth state title. The Eagles, meanwhile, defeated previously-unbeaten South Gray 54-47 for the school’s first title in boys’ basketball.
The Eagles finished the season 18-3, while the Olpe girls finished the season 25-0. Those championships followed a successful fall season for the Olpe football team, which won the Class 1A state title.
The teams are slated to arrive back home around 1 am Sunday. There will be a welcome-home ceremony immediately afterward. The tentative plan calls for a schoolwide assembly at 3 pm Monday.
