Oscoda football kicks off their season tonight at home!

That's right Owl football fans, the Oscoda 11 kicks off their season tonight at home at 7pm vs. Houghton Lake. You'll recall last year Oscoda's only regular season loss was to Houghton Lake so revenge may weight heavily on the Owls' minds tonight. The JV game will be played at 4pm.

Interesting note for Johnny writing on Oscoda football -- Johnny's last game for Ortonville-Brandon was against Oscoda. The Brandon millage had failed earlier that year and sports were cut until a pay- -to-play system came to be and saved the season. By then however, some teams had dropped Brandon from their schedules thinking the Blackhawks wouldn't have a team and the points system to get into the playoffs pretty well required your team playing 9 games. Brandon looked around and filled other games (Including one in Ohio) and found Oscoda had an open date at the end of the year and so the game was played in Ortonville and that night was Brandon's only win of the season, 18-6 over the Owls.

Fearless Forecast
Oscoda 30
