Oakville is doing the right thing by staying in 8-man football. With under 20 kids out it is very difficult to play in an 11 man league and be competitive. Let them be ranked, let their kids be on the all league team and be recognized if they qualify. Oakville needs to keep their football program going, so lets leave them alone. When they consistently get 28 kids out for football then we can kick them up to 11 man.
They have a great bunch of young men and some coach's that care. Oakville played Crescent last Saturday. Let me say this,"they play hard, are good sports and I didn't see one cheap shot at anytime during the game." Both teams ate a meal together after the game and had a good time. I think they are doing what's best for their kids.
Not being able to make the playoffs is punishment enough. Their kids keep coming to practice every day, let them get some recognition for their hard work. Keep the program alive!
