The Oscoda Area High School Musical Theater Class will present their first semester production, "Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies" by Craig Hawes on Sunday, January 16 at 2:00 p.m. in the Mary Anne Bartels Auditorium at Oscoda Area High School. Tickets are $6.00 each and will be available at the door.
When the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and his gormless guards threaten the villagers of Sherwood, feisty Maid Marion hires a band of freedom fighters for protection. But when Robin and his Merry Men arrive, she soon discovers they're not exactly what she'd ordered! With no time to lose, she persuades these hapless heroes to take center stage for the performance of their lives - if only they could stick to the script!
Follow the most outrageous outlaws in history on their side-splitting, action-packed adventure to defeat the dastardly Sheriff, storm Nottingham Castle, rescue Maid Marion and overthrow King John - all without running their tights!
This hysterical show is a riotous romp through the medieval mayhem of Merry England, splattered with shocks and surprises, crazy characters and comic capers. With a score full of catchy, show-stopping songs and a wonderfully witty script as sharp as an arrow, this musical comedy is on target to send you all a-quiver!
OSCODA GIRLS WRESTLING
INDIVIDUAL STATE TOURNAMENT
This year is a very exciting year for our sport! On May 3rd this spring the MHSAA council approved the request of many coaches, parents, and athletes to make a totally SEPARATE sport for female wrestlers. “Beginning with the 2021-22 school year, a championship division for female competitors who participate on MSHAA member school teams will be added to the individual Wrestling Tournament series. There will be 14 champions awarded, based on weight classes established by the National Federation of State High School Associations. Qualifiers will be determined via a sectional format. Girls will be allowed to continue to compete on boys teams during regular-season and team tournament competition; girls also may choose to compete in the boys individual tournament instead of the girls bracket.” -MHSAA Council
JOIN OUR WRESTLING FAMILY
No matter your experience level or background our team loves to support and make each other better everyday on AND off the mat. It truly is a family-like relationship between teammates. Wrestling is like no other sport, each member of the team is crucial to our success. You gain numerous life skills that carry over into our work, home, and social lives; mental toughness, reliability, sportsmanship, goal setting, self-discipline, etc. In addition, we are fortunate to have two well qualified female coaches, Coach Erickson wrestled three years for Oscoda and coached for one and Coach Newcomb wrestled in high school for three years. If you have any other questions or concerns please contact Coach Lopez.
PRACTICE GOALS:
• LEARN or IMPROVE ON SOMETHING
• LEAVE THE ROOM BETTER THAN YOU CAME IN
• HELP SOMEONE ELSE GET BETTER
• The most important thing is WRESTLING IS FUN!
