New Softball Field at Capitol Hill High School

The transformation of Capitol Hill High School’s sports complex is underway! Fields & Futures, with the generous support of Cimarron Construction, Oklahoma County Commissioner Brian Maughan and many others, has almost completed the softball field and will soon begin work on a new baseball field. When all is said and done, the Capitol Hill community will have a state-of-the-art sports complex, complete with new fields, new irrigation system, new scoreboards, a new weight room (thanks to the Wes Welker Foundation) and a new football/soccer practice field.

What Drives Capitol Hill and U.S. Grant Football?

U.S. Grant and Capitol Hill may be rivals, but their football programs have more in common than their annual "Southside Bedlam" rivalry game. From 2014-2020, the OSSAA allowed both programs to play as independents so they could create their own schedules and rebuild their programs. Now playing in Class 6A, neither team has found success in district play, but they also know the scoreboard isn't the only standard of success.
