With Oak Hills High School’s winter sports seasons coming to a close, comes the beginning of Oak Hills High School’s spring sports season. The spring sports teams, including Boys’ Baseball, Softball, Boys’ and Girls Lacrosse, Boys’ Volleyball, Boys’ Tennis, and Boys’ and Girls’ Track and Field, finally get their time to shine and compete against other schools.
Boys’ Baseball: The Oak Hills High School Baseball team tryouts start Feb. 24 and have their final tryout Mar. 1. With every tryout day from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. except for March, when it is from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. The varsity team’s track record the previous year was a 15 – 11, win to loss, and went 12 – 6 coming in third in the Greater Miami Conference. According to last year’s stats, the varsity team is looking extremely strong this year.
Girls’ Softball: The Oak Hills High School Softball team tryouts start Feb. 17 and end Feb. 22. Every tryout day will be from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. except for Feb. 22 at 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Last season, the varsity team went 14 – 12 overall and 9 – 9 in the conference, making them fifth in the GMC. With having a good season last year, hopefully, they will find the perseverance to rank higher in the GMC and demolish more teams!
Boys’ Tennis: The Boys’ Tennis team tryouts begin Mar. 12 and end Mar. 14. The times for each tryout date are 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Oak Hills High School tennis courts. If there is inclement weather then the tryouts will be held on the same days and times at Western Tennis and Fitness Club. Last season, they went 8 – 6 overall and 5 – 4 in the conference, putting them fifth in the GMC. I wish the Boys’ Tennis team a great season and good luck during their games!
Boys’ Volleyball: The Boys’ Volleyball tryouts start on Feb. 24 and end on Feb. 25 both being from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The tryouts will be located in the Oak Hills High School main gym. Last season, the team ended their season with 4 – 19 overall and 1 – 7 in the conference putting them at eighth in the GMC. Despite having a rough season last year, I’m confident that the team will continue to build their skill and teamwork to overcome and dominate the GMC.
Boys’ and Girls’ Lacrosse: The Boys’ Lacrosse team tryouts start Feb. 17 and go to Feb. 19 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. every tryout date on the multipurpose turf. The Girls’ Lacrosse team tryouts start Feb. 18 and go to Feb. 20 from 5:15 p.m. to 7 p.m. every tryout date in the Oak Hills High School Stadium field. The Boys’ Lacrosse team ended their season last year with a 9 – 10 overall and 1 – 9 in the conference placing them at fifth. On the other hand, the Girls’ Lacrosse team ended their season last year with a 4 – 15 overall and 0 – 10 in the conference, putting them last in the GMC. I’m positive that both teams will end their seasons strong this year and come out on top of the GMC.
Boys’ and Girls’ Track: Both the Girls’ and Boys’ Track teams do not have any tryout dates. Rather, students intending to run track will just have to show up to the first practice, which is Feb. 24 at 3:05 p.m. to 5 p.m. Official practice dates are Monday through Fridays at 3:05 p.m. to 5 p.m. Practices take place on the Oak Hills High School track unless weather prohibits it, in which the team will meet upstairs in the main gym.
I personally am excited to see how each spring team will perform and what each team will accomplish during their season. I wish each team good luck in their season!
