The Ogallala Invite will be held on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at Prairie View School. All times are in Mountain Time. Registration starts at 7:00 a.m., and the contest starts at 8:00 a.m.

We will offer competition in each of the 10 NSAA events, with two rounds and finals. For each event, there will be both Honor Finals and Varsity Finals. There will be 1st and 2nd place sweepstake plaques for the small division and large school division. Also, there will be no Novice division, but we will award and recognize an outstanding Novice in each event.

ENTRY FEES are $7.50 for each entry. You must provide 1 judge for every 7 entries. Hired judges are $75.00 each. Please do your best to cover your entries; we have a limited extra judges. 

CONCESSIONS and STUDENT HANG OUT will be located in the Commons Area/Cafeteria and the Gym. Concession food will be available for purchase. Refreshments will be provided in the hospitality room for all coaches/judges in the Family and Consumer Science room.

SCHEDULE will be crafted around entries and sent out on Friday, February 21st.  

REGISTRATION for your team will be through SpeechWire. The adding, editing, and dropping of entries will close at noon on Friday, February 21st. Please, for the sanity of the tabroom staff, no adds or event switches on the day of. 

Please text or call McLain (308-289-5176) on your way to the contest with your list of drops. 

We will print the official schedule at 7:45 a.m. and post it in the commons and hospitality room. Please console panicking students and judges–the first round may start a tad late, but having the most accurate schedule possible will be worth it for the speakers, judges, and tabroom alike.

If you have any questions, please contact McLain at (308) 289-5176 or mclainlilley@opsd.org. 

We are thrilled to be hosting this event and look forward to seeing you all soon!

Sincerely,

McLain Lilley
