IJAMSVILLE — The Maryland Sports Access high school football preseason tour continued on Saturday as we visited the campus of Oakdale High School to watch the Bears practice.

Oakdale is coming off a 9-3 season in which they lost to Damascus in the Class 3A West region title game, 42-21. The Bears, who won their first playoff game in school history a year ago, are in their seventh season as a program and are set to return six of 22 starters (three on both sides).
