The Oakwood fifth grade boys basketball team capped of a tremendous season by winning the South Charleston American Legion Post 176 tournament, March 2-4. The boys were seeded first going into the championship game with decisive wins over Jonathan Alder and London to win their pool division. In the championship game, Oakwood’s aggressive offense, unrelenting defense, teamwork and excellent coaching resulted in a 38-15 win over Tecumseh. Next fall, the boys select program will have tryouts for fourth, fifth and sixth graders attending school in the Oakwood school district.

For the first time in many years, Oakwood’s Jr. High wrestling team traveled to the district wrestling tournament. Head coach Jim Kordik was quite pleased that eight of his wrestlers won matches. Andrew Raichle, an eighth grader, was the only one, however, who placed high enough to advance to the state tournament, finishing third. The tournament will be held in Cleveland March 15-17. Raichle has been wrestling since the third grade and also enjoys both basketball and baseball. Good luck Andre.
