The third grade Oak Mountain Raptors basketball team won three championships this season.
The first came in December in the annual “Jingle Bell Jam Tournament,” where the Raptors beat out 15 teams to take the title. The Raptors also went undefeated in the North Shelby Basketball Association regular season and won the NSBA tournament. Finally, the team won the Over the Mountain title, knocking off Vestavia Blue in late February.
The team’s record for the year was 25-2. Its only two losses were by one point in overtime.
The Raptors were coached by Kris Dunn, Mike Evers and Pat Rakers.
