Between game-winning shots at the buzzer, game-tying three-pointers in the final moments and stellar post play against the biggest team in the league; it’s been an exciting run of games for Oakdale High’s varsity boys basketball team.

The program bested East Union in the final seconds on Jan. 23, and then rallied to jump on Sonora early during a Jan. 25 win. The team would go on to fall just 56-42 to the same Weston Ranch team that bested them by nearly 40 points early in the season.

The varsity squad earns collective Athlete of the Week recognition from The Leader for their recent hearty efforts.
