The LO Dragons Softball team is in the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! They face a tough Hudsonville squad this Saturday at 10am at MSU's Secchia Stadium. The only legitimate live-stream is through the NFHS Network, and we'll have it linked directly on our website at www.dragonbroadcasting.org. The scammers are out in full force this week, and you need to be very careful when you click on links to "watch live". Look at the user profile first...you can usually tell it's fake/scam because their profiles are typically new and have very few "friends". We are the LOHS Dragon Broadcast program. We have the true link posted on our website, just as we have done for years. You can always use our website as your portal to watch LO events!

A note from the Career Center…

The LO Varsity Softball team is back in the State Semifinals! They face South Lyon at 10:00am tomorrow (Thursday 6/13) at MSU's Secchia Stadium. If you can't be there in-person, the MHSAA & NFHS Network are live-streaming the game, and we'll have the direct link on our website at www.dragonbroadcasting.org.

Way to go, Dragons!

NOT DONE YET!! GOING BACK TO MSU‼️‼️ Dragons came out and beat Lakeland 9-7!!! 10am game at MSU on Thursday…..be there‼️
