O’Fallon Panther Baseball

Baseball and Sports, in general, are a GAME. We practice hard, we play hard, we hold each other accountable with tough love sometimes but it is a GAME! No different than Monopoly or Chutes & Ladders. The brotherhood of our team though…. When one of us is hurting, your BROTHERS have your back and are there to pick you up. That is the #blazierboy way.

Well one of our brothers is hurting deeply, our school is hurting and our community hurts. HS Sports are a GAME but our players and our relationships are not…. Sometimes and today especially we need to remember that…Sad day for OTHS! Our condolences to the family of Maddie Best and OTHS Girls Tennis program. Gone too soon but NEVER forgotten…

Maddie Best’s obituary and funeral arrangements will be released by the family later.
