The Oxford High School varsity boys swim and dive team dropped a match to Bloomfield Hills High School last Thursday night. The Wildcats’ record fell to 4-2.

According to Oxford Coach Jackie Boswell Rank, the Wildcats were missing seven members of their team “for a variety of reasons and, though the boys rallied, the deficit was too much to overcome.” The final score was 95-85 in favor of Bloomfield Hills. Coach Rank said she is excited to go back to Bloomfield Hills in a little over a month for the OAA White League Championships.
