Here lately I’ve started to see some things on twitter about playing more games etc so I wanted to get the facts out there. The KS HS coaches started a committee 2.5 years ago to move HS baseball forward. We asked for 4 things proposed by @ADButlerOW. These were optional items.

@coachLepp pestered me for baby blue uniforms for about 5 years. In his honor check out @KrzykowskiWill and @andrewce35 in our new uniforms

This is amazing and great to see! You are one special kid.
@brennanconnell is back on the baseball field again only 25 days after experiencing a severe cardiac arrest while pitching in a HS baseball game. No better place to heal than w/ teammates on the diamond. 1 step closer. #BC20 @ASabath2 @OWNovacekOWLS @kristinconnell @ADButlerOW

This was a great night! So Happy for @coachLepp and for Brennan and his family. Saving Brennan will always be the biggest win for all of us. It’s hard to talk about it, but so thankful we were there to do our part. Olathe West is truly a family. @OWNovacekOWLS @ADButlerOW.
What. A. Night. Our Owls family showed up at the @olatheschools Board meeting in support of @ASabath2 and @Sorko1811 for their roles in saving Brennan’s life in May. Plus @coachLepp was recognized as the 2019 Assistant Coach of the Year by the ABCA! 💙🦉⚾️ #owlsfamily

We are asking for 4 weeks before the season starts for 3 hours a week. Every State around us allows this. 3. A scrimmage before the season like football . 4. A single site state tournament where 5 State Champions would be crowned in a single spot in one day.

2020 seniors Caleb Christlieb, Jaidan Quinn, Jon Jenkins, Connor Delong, PJ Alvarez, Alex Dilley, Willie Ponce, and Ethan Sanders will leave a lasting legacy on our school. We thank you and wish this season could have ended on a field. The coaches are a phone call away.
Least shocking news of the day. Now official - 24 hours later. I am sorry seniors.

1. 26 games - we have played 20 games in KS since at least 1979 and probably since 1965 but there are not accurate records - Missouri plays 36 adopted this year . 2. Arm Care- KS currently doesn’t let us work with our guys from Labor Day until the first Day of tryouts- March 1.

Devastating news today. School in it’s known form is done this year. Baseball takes a back burner to the safety of our citizens, but it still stings. Questions remain about many items and when we have info we will share them. Stay safe Owls & follow the CDC guidelines. #family.
