‘Shortage’ is the word of the season for OHS sports

Ozaukee High School’s fall athletic season has been one of shortages — of players, bus drivers, officials and volunteers, Athletic Director Andy McKee told the Northern Ozaukee School Board Monday.

“Shortage is the key word,” he said during a report on fall sports.

McKee, who was forced to bench boys’ soccer this year because of a dearth of players, now can only hope buses are available to transport the school’s other teams and has had to reschedule football games around the availability of a dwindling number of referees.
