Fall sports are beginning to ramp up at schools around the area, and Oxford Prep is no exception. The school’s athletic director, John Hammett, has a full plate as the school’s varsity volleyball team will be scrimmaging twice next week ahead of opening the season. Also, Coach Kevin Grant’s soccer team kicks off the season on August 14th against Granville Central. The volleyball team will have no seniors meaning that the team will have, ideally, no changes over the next two seasons. The soccer team will only have two seniors out of 21 players.
In addition, other fall sports are also gearing up. “Cross Country, women’s golf and middle school teams all start next week,” Hammett said on Thursday’s SportsTalk.
While academics come first at Oxford Prep, Hammett hopes sports can play a role in the lives of students. He added that when it comes to expectations, his biggest goal is for the students at Oxford Prep enjoy the experience.
