The Oscoda boys football team clinched a winning season (woot!) by 'defeating' Mancelona Friday 1-0 in a forfeit win. Great to clinch a winning season but Johnny does feel for the guys playing at Mancelona. All the hard work put in during two a days back in August, and sure their season hasn't been very good but you still wanna just play football. Here's to a better season for them next year. The Owls have one more tough road game Friday in Frankfort. Nice town.
