Well this is nothing but a BIG disappointment

The highly touted and highly-ranked Oscoda girls basketball team, 17-1 and North Star League champs (again) will have to sit out the MHSAA Girl's Basketball Tournament because a team member has tested positive for COVID-19.

“The girls are just crushed” Oscoda coach Mark Toppi said, no doubt expressing the feeling not just for the team but for our whole community. This is a team that were heavy favorites to win their third district title in a row and now, it's just over. After the boys football undefeated and untied season stretched so long due to state officials erring on the side of safety and caution (And Johnny has no issues with this, they are simply doing their jobs) the team just couldn't participate any longer. COVID-19 has been a real teacher of lessons for kids and hopes and how things can change in life overnight around these parts.

If you see one of our girl's team members, tell 'em you're sorry but tell them you're also quite proud.
