One year ago Oakwood Academy had to forfeit it's Sweet Sixteen Tournament game because their game fell on their Sabbath. Fast forward to this season, and the @DNAOFOAA will head to the State Tournament (@AHSAA_hoops ) for the first time in program history.
Coach Melvin Allen, a Huntsville native, also won the game at his alma mater where he's in the Jacksonville State Hall of Fame finishing his career as the school's all-time leader in assists. Allen also led the Gamecocks to their only Basketball National Championship in 1985.
@CarlPratherWAFF @DNAOFOAA @AHSAA_hoops Love this, Carl! Thanks for bringing a light to these young men! Well deserved!
