OHS vs Patterson Mill (State Semi-Final)

Tonight was an exciting day and night for the Oakdale Team, the Oakdale Basketball Program, Oakdale High School, Oakdale Community, and OHS fans. The day started with a energized pep rally for the team. It was a site to see, over 1,000 students all dressed in black t-shirts to support the Boys Basketball team. The team was recognized, OHS students participated shooting contests, poms team performed as well as the cheerleaders. The team then boarded a charter bus with a police escort. Parents and fans cheered them on as they boarded.

The game was back and forth throughout the first quarter. The Bears picked up their intensity in the 2nd quarter and took a 27-19 lead at half. The Bears then outscored Patterson Mill by 10 in the 3rd. The Bears defense was awesome tonight and held Patterson Mill to only 34 points in the game. FINAL: Oakdale 56 - Patterson Mill 34. This was the first time a Frederick County boys basketball team has won in the State Semi-Final game since Gov. Thomas Johnson won in 2002.

Tomorrow the Bears will play in the 2A Maryland State Championship game. The game will be at 6:00 p.m. against Potomac High School. We are asking all OHS fans to wear their black t-shirts.
