🔥 Shoutout to Our Top 3 Teams 🔥

04/26/2026

WOW. What a day for Oskaloosa Football.

Our 3rd Annual Golf Tournament was a huge success — and it’s all because of this incredible community. Full teams, great competition, big-time moments on the course, and a whole lot of support for our kids and program.

From the $10,000 hole bringing the excitement… to every par 3 giving players a shot at prizes… this was a day people won’t forget.

But more than anything — this event showed what happens when a community shows up.

To our players, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this happen… THANK YOU.

And to our sponsors — we truly couldn’t do this without you:
