And the Bears are coming off another deep run.

Oakdale finished 10-3 in 2025 and reached the Maryland Class 3A State Championship Game, finishing the season as state runner-up and once again proving the Bears belong among Maryland's best.

Stein joins Steve and Paul to look back at another championship-caliber season, talk about the program he's built from scratch at Oakdale, and what has allowed the Bears to maintain that level of success. They also look ahead to 2026 and what Oakdale fans can expect as the Bears prepare for another run.
