We lost a baseball icon today. Coach Hall was the head baseball coach at Oakton from 1967 when the school opened until 1999. He was also a Social Studies teacher and football coach at the school. He impacted countless lives during his time as an educator and coach.
Ryan Sleight killed it on the mound, Ethan Jones hit a bomb and Zach Dekoven had the winning RBI. True team effort all the way around! We couldn't be more proud of our 2022 Concord District Championship players!! Go Cougs!!!!
The Oakton Baseball family is extremely proud of our 2022 District Championship team. The team, lead by the senior class, showed so much resilience this season. Thank you to everyone who supported us this season.
-Coach Janis
So proud of this young man!

Iconic match up last night for our 1st scrimmage. Former OHS grad Chad Carroll, Head Coach Gonzaga vs his former Coaches Justin Janis and Bill Grossman.
A β Wβ in the books for Cougars Baseball on Opening night. Zach Danielczyk β23 threw a complete game and a walk off by Nick Morgan to score Spencer Schwartz for the win!
Always an exciting day handing out uniforms! Tryouts are a vulnerable, exciting, and scary time for a lot of high school athletes. Congrats and good luck to all of those who made their respective spring rosters!

Congratulations to now former Oakton Coach Josh Cook on his new position as Head Baseball Coach of the Yorktown Patriots. Thank you for all you did for the Cougars, Coach. Your effort and enthusiasm is greatly appreciated.
Great team win! Needed all 21 outs to beat a great Madison team. Big knocks from Craig Benson, Chaz Billak, and Chris Vinh w/ the HR. Big innings on the mound from Seth Richards and Lingebach locked it down.

Cougars get a hard fought 5-3 win against a really good Madison team. Defense was stellar for both teams. Beau Souders closed it out tossing the final 3 frames with 5 Ks and no runs. Jacob Bradshaw and Noah Toole both collect two hits and Cooper Bradshaw drove in two runs.
Wins across the board for the Oakton Cougars vs Chantilly. Varsity 3-2, Nick Toole for the W and Brett Harrelle for the save. Both Reid Steinberg and Will Dornbusch with multiple hits. Undefeated JV, 5-4 Alex Crudder for the W, Logan Grunig for the save. Noah Toole went 3 for 4.
Cougars pick up a tough 2-0 win against a good Centreville squad. Pitching was excellent on both sides. Zach Hansen went 6 scoreless for the win and also added an RBI double. Cooper Bradshaw propelled the offense with a sac fly early and then scoring after a 2 out double.
Cougars bounce back and get a 3-1 win over a quality West Springfield squad! Noah Toole gets the Win on the mound going 5 innings and allowing 0 runs. Beau Souders picks up the save throwing the last 2 frames with 4 Ks!
