Each of the three Oak Mountain Girls Select basketball teams finished either first or second in the Pelham Girls Basketball League tournament in February.
Oak Mountain Girls Select Basketball is comprised of 4th, 5th and 6th grade competitive basketball teams and compete in a ten-game regular-season schedule at Riverchase Middle School as a part of the PGBL. The girls go on to compete in a two to three game tournament-schedule.
Oak Mountain sixth-grade girls finished strong with a second place, eight win and two loss, regular-season record, and placed second to Pelham in the tournament. The fifth grade girls had an equally impressive eight win and two loss regular-season to finish in third place, but then came back to take first-place in the tournament also against Pelham. The Oak Mountain fourth-grade girls finished the regular season with a nine win and one loss record, and then met rivals of Pelham to take first place in the tournament.
The 2014-15 Oak Mountain Select League commissioner was Judd Fleming. The sixth-grade team's head coach was John Phillips, assisted by Judd Fleming. The fifth-grade team's head coach was Jerry Hood and assisted by John Ohlson. The fourth-grade team was coached by Jerod Sinclair and assisted by incoming 2015-16 commissioner, Sean Ries.
