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.

The undefeated Oscoda girls basketball team is home tonight in another playoff matchup!

The Oscoda girl's basketball team, riding a 21-0 season thus far and a championship in the North Star league Big Dipper division and will host a second-round playoff game with the Johannesburg-Lewiston Cardinals who sport a 13-6-1 record overall (WTF, a tie basketball game? We promise no ties tonight) and play very well on the road with a 6-1-1 record.

Here's tonight's question, Johannesburg-Lewiston's defensive stats are in line with the Lady Owls' but can the Cardinals keep up with Oscoda's scoring or limit it? We'll all find out tonight at 6pm in the Oscoda High School Owl's Nest.

Let's go Oscoda!
