We can't thank our OTE family enough for a terrific weekend at Great Wolf Lodge to cap our winter 2018-19 season. Nearly 500 in attendance -- great party, great weekend of basketball, great friends and family. Check out our video of the fun weekend: https://vimeo.com/320521622

As we enter 2018, we celebrate the third basketball season in a row that every OTE 8th grade alum made their freshman, JV or varsity teams at high school tryouts. This season it was 34 out of 34 8th graders that made the jump into high school programs, including Loyola, Whitney Young, Ignatius, Payton, Jones Prep, Resurrection, Notre Dame, Taft and more. Since 2003, more than 90 percent of OTE alums have gone on to play high school basketball. OTE is proud of all of our alums.

Congrats to the OTE 7th grade girls, who finished 6th out of 34 teams in the National AAU championship in Knoxville, Tenn. The girls had a great run, losing by five points in the quarterfinals to the eventual AAU champs. The team was on fire all week, averaging 53 points a game -- one of the top-scoring teams in the tourney. Thanks to the players, parents and coach Croix for a terrific week of basketball! The OTE family is proud of all of you!

Thanks to all the players who attended another record-breaking OTE tryout this weekend. The coaches were impressed with the energy, talent and competitive spirit that they saw over 4 days. The rosters have been posted and we can't wait for the 2019-20 season to start! 

For the fourth year in a row, every OTE 8th grade girls and boys alum who played during our winter-spring seasons made their freshman, JV or varsity teams at high school tryouts. This year it was 34 out of 34 8th graders from our 2017-18 winter-spring seasons that made the jump into high school programs, including Loyola, Whitney Young, Ignatius, Payton, Main South, Jones Prep, Resurrection, Notre Dame, Lincoln Park, Maine East, Niles West, Regina, Von Steuben, Shurz and more. Since 2003, more than 90 percent of OTE alums have gone on to play high school basketball. OTE is proud of all of them. Go Edge!
