The girls say goodbye to seniors Devaney Cote, Chelsea Hostetter, Heather Courchaine, and Amber McCullock.

Oxbow struck first getting out to a 4-2 lead. The boys cut it to 4-3 and then the Olympians' bats caught fire. They scored 6 more runs to end the game at 10-3. This was the first time since 2006 that the baseball team made the semifinals. The boys say goodbye to seniors Lucas Fitzgerald, Ryan Cross, Kasey Small, Colby Putvain, and Geoff Jaquish.
