It was a busy week for many Oakdale sports teams, as preseason action and the first stages of Valley Oak League play continues for fall sports. Here is a wrap of some recent contests.

Oakdale’s varsity girls suffered a 14-2 water polo loss at home to Lincoln of Stockton on Thursday evening, Aug. 29.
