Oakland Patriots High School Baseball

Tradition and Quick Facts

Oakland High School baseball has a long and storied tradition of success. Two state championships, numerous regional and district titles, and the premier high school baseball facility in the south is evidence of that. Since 1973, coaches, players, and parents have worked to make Oakland one of the top high school baseball programs in the state. More than anything, Oakland tradition is winning!
