Season outlook: Oak Hill missed the playoffs by a fraction of a point in 2015, but the leadership and football championship experience of college prospects Dalton Therrien (Endicott) and Jonah Martin (Franklin Pierce) give the Raiders a good starting point for a bounce-back season. Therrien battled .489 and Nilsson .474 as juniors. Martin is the mound ace. Oak Hill played well against the best teams in the league a year ago, and they hope to use that experience to move up the ladder this season.
