The OVAC Basketball Committee would like to thank Cameron High School, teacher, Holly Pettit, and her food prep class for their help during the 2026 OVAC Basketball Championships! The class helped prepare over 300 sack lunches for all of the teams that participated in the basketball championships in February. Cameron High School also helped prepare the game day programs for the championships. OVAC Assistant Basketball Commissioner Donnie Giffin recently visited Cameron to provide participating students lunch and OVAC merch as a thank you. We look forward to their help with the 2027 OVAC Basketball Championships!
