Now that the Oscoda boys football team has finished with a winning record...

5-4 is an improvement over the last couple years. Johnny knows this is a team on the rise.

But he didn't come here to talk football but rather Oscoda basketball (Boys schedule here). The Owls are playing in the Big Dipper division of the North Star League with their first game being at home November 25 vs Fairview. Good to see this league is local and the road games aren't too long of a trip, unlike the trips over to Frankfort in football.

The Oscoda girls basketball team (Girls schedule here) starts a bit later than the boys with a road game at Kingsley on December 14 with their first home game two days later vs Houghton Lake. If you look at that handy league standing graphic above you can apply it to the girls as well, same teams in the league, same division to boot.

Here's to a fabulous season of Owls basketball.

Johnny's sisters surprised him with a visit today and are spending a lovely evening at Tidepool North enjoying a movie marathon of great importance. This will have to set aside the Saturday night Scoreboard Show for this week but family is worth it.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark
