The OLSH bowling team formed in 1995, with coach Bob Brasko at the helm. Brasko coached every year until his retirement in 2016. Last weekend, he hosted a special reunion for every student who has ever played on or managed one of his teams. While Brasko's bowlers are spread across the globe now, over 50 alumni and their guests did manage to make the event at OLSH's home bowling alley, Paradise Lanes. Nearly every graduation year that he coached was represented.
Prizes were given for the first ten people to bowl a turkey, the high scores of the night (boys and girls), and the person who travelled the furthest to be there

"Hard to find the words to express the joy in my heart. Thank you Alumni Bowlers! You made an old teacher/coach mighty happy. God bless you," Brasko expressed in a Facebook post.
It was truly a memorable night for all involved!
