FOUR State Championships During the 2024-25 School Year
For the first time ever during the 2024-25 school year, Bishop Watterson teams won four team state championships in the same school year. BWHS is just the fifth school in Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) history to accomplish this feat!
The run of championships began last fall with the girls soccer and football teams. The boys wrestling team won the state title in the winter, followed by boys lacrosse in the spring season.
