Pending school board approval, Dan Scholz has been tapped to lead the Oak Hills Highlanders for the 2012 season. Scholz, a two-time Coach of the Year, has spent the past five seasons at New Richmond. With a career record of 37-14, Scholz turned around the struggling program at New Richmond by instilling his highly disciplined style of play on both sides of the ball. Prior to his tenure at New Richmond, Coach Scholz spent seven seasons at Colerain High School as the Special Teams Coordinator and Strength and Conditioning Coach. Coach Scholz also has coached at Dublin Scioto and Rocker River High School.

Join the Oak Hills Athletic Boosters on Thursday night at 6pm at the Meadows to meet Coach Scholz and hear about his plans for the Oak Hills football program. All high school, middle school and youth player and parents are welcome.

Below are the links to our student cheering section at Oak Hills High School on Tuesday night. The Boys Varsity Basketball team beat Elder 72-59 in front of nearly 3,200 fans. Our student body developed an entire night of choreographed cheers…including Moses parting the “Red Sea”!

A great day to be a Highlander!
