2010 was an impressive year for the Oak Creek Ranch School softball team , finishing the regular season play in a tie for first place, with 8 wins and 1 loss.“The OCRS students were just great!,” said Coach Hernandez. “They practiced every day and were completely committed to their team.”
In the league championship tournament, injuries prevented some of the team’s key players from participating in the game. After a hard fought battle, the Wildcats were unable to pull off the victory, losing the playoff game by a narrow margin of 14 to 15.
“Our players never gave up,” remarked George Ireland, Athletic director for OCRS. “It was great to see our students play so passionately and really believe in themselves.”
After their loss, the OCRS team members wasted no time being upset or discouraged. They immediately began to cheer for their competitors, demonstrating what true sportsmanship is all about.
“All season long we talked about the importance of maintaining ‘good sportsmanship’ so to see our kids put those words into action was tremendous!” said Coach Hernandez.
Congratulations to the OCRS Softball team for another outstanding season.
