Back healthy and hungry; Oak Hill Red Devil Football hoping to flip the script in AAAA

Oak Hill Red Devils football team has returned healthy and hungry as they prepare for their upcoming AAAA season. The team started with a 3-1 record but struggled to a .500 record before losing to George Washington in the playoffs. Health has now become a top priority for the program this offseason. The coaches and players have embraced a weight room program, allowing them to bulk up and build stronger bodies for the upcoming ten game slate, with hopes of extending the season to eleven or more games.

Head Coach Davon Marion emphasized that the team is a scrappy little group, and they have been lifting and getting bigger. As a result, they are confident they can "come out, knock some heads," according to Cade Compton, a running back and linebacker for the Red Devils. Coach Marion also highlighted the strong brotherhood and family-like energy within the team, which he believes will significantly impact the team's success this year.

The intensity in practice has been high, and the players are excited to open up the playbook more, share the ball, and play with enthusiasm. Brothers Cade and Caleb Compton, along with Caden Morris, have become significant voices in the locker room and on the field. Additionally, a new quarterback, Junior Caleb Spack, will take over this season after a strong offseason of preparation.

Oak Hill Red Devils will kick off their season at home against Cabell Midland on August 28, 2026.
