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.
