Last night was a very very exciting game between Oakdale and Linganore. The gym was crowded and both student sections evenly matched. The cheerleaders had battles almost every timeout and the crowd was loud and it was a very intense game. The first quarter began with both teams battling back and forth. Tough defense on both teams, ending the quarter 7-6 in favor of the Bears. The rest of the game was an intense battle, with both teams trading baskets and making plays. At the end of the fourth quarter the Bears were ahead by 2 with seconds to go when a Lancer drove in the lane and threw up a shot and it rolled around the rim and went in, tying the game and forcing the game into overtime. In overtime, the Bears came out strong and scored right away and then hit a big 3 to take a 5 point lead. The Lancers answered but had to foul going down the stretch to put the Bears on the line. The Bears connected on 6 out of the 8 free throws at the end of the game. FINAL: OHS 49 - LHS 44
The next game is scheduled for Tuesday night at Frederick High School.
Thanks again to all the Oakdale Students and OHS community for traveling to Linganore to support our Bears. GO BEARS!
