OUTLOOK
Coach Carter: "This year's Oakleaf team is one that many people are expecting to drop off. After 35 wins the last two years and back to back school offensive record setting years, the Knights graduated 13 from that roster. Everyone expects this team to be down, but not so fast. The team still has its top returning pitchers, returning all county SS and C, and numerous talented players that are looking to put their own stamp on the program. Knights will be looking to conquer their first district title in school history this year."
