TOP PLAYERS

Jonathan Deifel, RHP/IF, 2015 ... First team All-Greater Catholic League in 2013. Perfect Game preseason All-American Honorable Mention. Transfer from St. Xavier.

OUTLOOK:

2013 was a season that was just above .500 as Oak Hills high School finished 14-13 on the season, 6-6 in conference. That's the bad news. The good news is the team brings back lots of experience and also a couple of transfers from St. Xavier in the Greater Catholic League who each garnered All-Conference honors. Head coach Chuck Laumann, who is 14 wins from 400 on his career, expects his team to be a solid squad in 2014. With talented returners and a couple of solid transfers Oak Hills could be in store for a good 2014.
