TURN BACK THE CLOCK

Average margin of victory was 31 ppg

Ranked #2 in Class 2A for all but 2 weeks of the season

37 wins set a new White Oak High School record for wins in a season.

Lone loss was to eventual Class 1A State Champion Clarksville in the Van Tournament

Finished the season on a 32 game winning streak including championships in the Spring Hill Tournament and Tenaha Holiday Hoops Tournament.
