North Oldham’s first-ever berth in the Boys Sweet Sixteen has been brewing for years now.
It started with backyard hoops and after-school pickup games, long before the thought of eventually competing for a state title would ever feel real. Just a group of boys from a small community right outside of Louisville that loved playing basketball together. But little did they know, the chemistry and bonds they built during that time would lead to their high school’s most successful boys basketball season in program history.
On Tuesday night, the North Oldham Mustangs locked up its spot in the 2022 Boys Sweet Sixteen Tournament, where 16 of Kentucky’s best high schools will battle for the state’s ultimate crown.
