Season Outlook
The Wildcats finished hot last spring, making a run at the 2A-1A state championship.  The sophomore and junior classes are key to making another run at the state title.  Oxford started as many as six freshman in 2015, and those freshman now have experience that could pay off big in May.  The Wildcats will have four players with post season honors making up the nucleus of the team and seven returning starters from a season ago.  Blake Thurmond-Evans, a transfer from Wichita Trinity will be a welcomed addition this spring, an addition that will add to the talented junior class.  As the sophomore and junior class continue to develop, the Wildcat program will continue to develop as a whole.  Don't count out Oxford on making another strong run at the state title this spring.
