The varsity volleyball team is getting ready for district play and has high hopes for the rest of the season. Coach Nicholas Tarr said the team has been performing well but still has a few things to improve before district begins.
The Olney Cubs came roaring out of the locker room for their first home game of the season on Sept. 4, but Petrolia’s relentless running game and a late touchdown allowed the Pirates to escape Cub Stadium with a 30-26 victory.
Coach Art Flores grew up in a small town, so it’s no wonder he and his family are enjoying their time in Olney.
With fall just around the corner, the football season has taken off. Before their first game in Quanah, the Olney Cubs competed in scrimmages against Abilene TLCA and Electra. Their excitement carried on into Quanah, but only for the first half. Unfortunately, that game was a loss with a final score of 35-12.
The Olney ISD Board of Trustees adopted its 2026-27 budget Aug. 27, projecting that the district’s general fund will finish the year with a modest surplus.
