The 2012 football season is highlighted by our 130lb 6th grade team winning their 3rd consecutive JSYFL Championship making those young men and coaches the most successful team in OMYFC history.

Oak Mountain Youth Football also had its best ever year during the JSYFL regular season posting an impressive 34-6 record. A great job by the entire OMYFC community.

Congratulations to the 105lb 4th grade team for earning the American Conference Championship honors and their runner-up finish in the JSYFL Championship.

The 120lb 5th grade team had another great year making it to the conference finals.
The 80lb 2nd grade team and 90lb 3rd grade teams both had outstanding years as well with play-off appearances. More importantly both teams significantly improved their records and on field performance.

The Oak Mountain OTM league teams completed their first ever year in competition. Of note, congratulation goes out to the 5th grade Dolphins team and 4th grade Broncos team respectively for earning playoff honors.

The Oak Mountain Cheerleading teams continued to excel both on and off the field. In addition to the wonderful support and positive environment they help create during games, these young ladies fair very well in a competitive environment.
Their outstanding accomplishments included the 3rd and 4th grade winning 1st place and the 6th grade taking 2nd. Oak Mountain also took 1st place in the individual 4th and 5th grade divisions.

Thanks to all involved for making 2012 a memorable season.
