Tyler’s Times: One Goal
Throughout the 2011-2012 season, oakhillhoops.com features personal stories from our players.
…we are 28-0. We have been playing really well. Our team has so many weapons. In my opinion, no one has a better back court in the country…With Jordan Adams and D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera on the wings, everything comes much more easily for me at the point…

Ben McLemore: Diary #2, Three Month Report Card
Throughout the 2010-2011 season, oakhillhoops.com features personal stories from our players.
We’ve now been up on “The Hill” for about three months. It doesn’t seem like I’ve been gone from St. Louis that long at all. My senior year is going really well. I just didn’t realize it would all come this fast. In just three short months, being in this new environment has helped me a lot both on and off the court. I feel like I’m getting ready for my start in the real world…
Keith Hornsby: Diary #2, Taking Flight
Throughout the season, oakhillhoops.com features personal stories from our players.
The season has taken off, and needless to say, we are maintaining flight. We are 6-0, and by the way we have been playing, I can’t see anyone contending with us. Through tough practices and tough lessons on the court, we have not only become a better team, but we have also grown even closer, becoming a family. Every player on the team has maintained their strong work ethic, and it is great to see everyone improving their game…

Ben McLemore: Diary #1, A New Experience
Hi. This is Ben McLemore. This is my first year here at Oak Hill Academy, Class of 2011.
When I first arrived, it was a long drive, but I knew I was home. At this point I’m a little over a month into school, and it has been going really well. All the teachers are great, the students are awesome and so are the players on both the boys and girls basketball teams.
Keith Hornsby: Diary #1, We’re Back
I must say I’m excited to be back at the Hill this year. I have much anticipation for the upcoming seaon, and I have already set some solid team goals to reach.
I’ve loved meeting all my new teammates. Being the only returning player from last year’s team, I must admit I was a little nervous about meeting a whole new group of guys, but I couldn’t be more at ease with them. They are all really good people who seem eager to work hard and get that national championship ring.
