Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine sugar and 3T flour. Add cherries, tossing gently to coat. Spoon mixture into prepared pan.

In a medium bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, and 1/4cup of flour. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in almonds. Sprinkle over cherry mixture.

Bake until hot and bubbly, and topping is brown, about 30 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes.
