Collin Miller, OHS senior, a contestant of Mr. Spartan, said, “ Obviously I will win. It’s my second year in Mr. Spartan and I feel I am more prepared than last year. I have great dance team coaches that help me. I really know how to wow the audience.“

Scott Fontaine, OHS senior, a contestant of Mr. Spartan gave us a little insight on his talent, “Chris Farley’s motivational speech on Saturday Night Live. You will be seeing a few toe touches throughout the night, don’t miss it.”

Lainey Whitaker, OHS senior, said, “ My favorite part about Mr. Spartan is the talent portion, I hope it’s as funny as last year. I wouldn’t change anything about Mr. Spartan.”

Johann Meyer, OHS junior, a contestant of Mr. Spartan said, “ I still haven’t started my talent performance. Our opening dance is good but we just can’t dance so it’s complicated. I’m going to bring out all of my ladies for my formal wear performance.”

Tickets are $7 going on sale on the week of the March 7. No sneak peaks, so you’ll just have to bring out family and friends to find out who will be the new Mr. Spartan!
