Ohio State football staff tightens players' lead in 'June Olympics' after winning Euchre
Ohio State football staff tightens players' lead in 'June Olympics' after winning Euchre The Ohio State football program continued its summer competition it's calling the "June Olympics," on Monday. What better way to pass the time during the dead period than a friendly competition of various sports and games between the players and staff? To date, the players have had the upper hand, going into the latest event with a 5-3 lead. The latest competition stepped outside of the physical, athletic realm and dove into card playing. It's just the sort of competition the older staff members likely needed after falling behind by two points because of a dodgeball win by the players last week. And, wouldn't you know it, the staff came through, winning a Euchre competition to pull to within one point at 5-4. It had a lot of drama with the score nip and tuck until the staff took the momentum at the end to tighten things up. You can get the highlights of the win thanks to the "X" account (formerly Twitter) of Ohio State Football below. As always, we're not sure what the next event is, or even how many competitions are set to take place in the month of June, but so far, we've been getting a look at an "Olympic event" every other day or so. We'll see what the future holds and if the staff can even things up, or if the players again put a little separation between themselves and the guys with a little seasoning on their ages.

WATCH: Ohio State football players beat coaches in 'June Olympics' dodgeball
WATCH: Ohio State football players beat coaches in 'June Olympics' dodgeball Next event for 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐎𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐬, Dodgeball 💪 The players extended their win streak after taking down the staff. Bringing the series 5-3 Players Lead 👀 — Ohio State Football (@OhioStateFB) June 13, 2025 The "June Olympics," a competition between the Ohio State football players and coaches during the doldrums of summer continued this week. This time around, the competition was dodgeball, something you won't see in the traditional Summer Olympics, but that doesn't matter when we're talking about a battle among friends. Coming into the contest, the players were on a bit of a winning streak and had a 4-3 lead in the competition. Nobody is really sure when this thing ends, and us on the outside aren't sure what competitions will be a part of all the fund, but it's clear the coaches needed a win to reel things and and tie things up. Unfortunately for them, the players were able to win once again and now enjoy a 5-3 lead. It's not an insurmountable lead, but one that might prove difficult for the "old guys" to overcome. Here's a look at a snippet of the dodgeball win by the players. Remember, "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." We'll keep an eye on the next "June Olympics" moment and report on whether the players extend their lead or if the coaches can pull to within one point.
