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.

Up and at 'em Owls, Back to School day!

Johnny is wishing you all a great and knowledge-filled school year. Don't be like those Tawas kids, sheesh, it takes them an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes.

Any of the young ladies cultivating the Pat Benatar look this year?

The Oscoda Boys Basketball team goes for 24-0 tonight in Houghton Lake

The Owls head to Houghton Lake tonight to play the Aggies of Beal City at 7:30pm. While the Aggies are 'just' 13-8 overall, Oscoda must not look ahead to a regional final where they would be favored, the Owls have to concentrate on Beal City tonight good things may come later, focus guys, it's key. Oscoda is a perfect 5-0 on neutral floors this year while the Aggies are 2-1.

Should they win, Oscoda will play the winner of the Sanford Meridian vs. Manton game which will be played right before the Owls game tonight also in Houghton Lake.

Big ups for the Owls! If it's winning time, it's Oscoda High School!
