Oxford Attack Celebrate Success

Tuesday, 5 April 2016 07:45

The Oxford Attack has been helping young people hone their skills and bringing home the hardware.

Originally known as the Ingersoll Bombers, the Oxford Attack Basketball club has grown exponentially over the past decade.

According to Coach Paul Cowan the team has more than tripled the number of teams it supports.

"We were two teams just six years ago and we've now expanded to be ten teams. We have seven boys' teams and three girls' teams competing from under 11 atom boys all the way through under 19 boys."

Some of the better high school players in the area play for the Oxford Attack club and Coach Cowan says the goal is to help these players eventually play for post-secondary teams.

"We have one player currently playing in college, and another player currently playing for Laurentian in the north. So that is the goal of our club to hopefully have a few players that go on to play college."

Coming up this August the Oxford Attack will be holding their fourth annual summer basketball camp in Woodstock.
