Free event for families and Oscoda fans. There will be a tailgate party, Hall of Fame inductions, and a great football game against Benzie Central. Tailgating begins at 4:15, with inductions starting at 5:15 p.m.
This Friday, we will induct new honorees to the 2026 Oscoda Athletics Hall of Fame.

One of those to be inducted is Rick Beck, a 1977 graduate of Oscoda High School won 6 varsity letters during his athletic career, garnering all-conference honors in both football (1975 and 1976) and baseball (1975, 1976 and 1977). In 1975, he won the prestigious Golden Helmet Award for his achievement in Football. Beck’s athletic career didn’t end upon his graduation from Oscoda. Attending Olivet College, Rick played both football and baseball for the Comets. It was on the baseball diamond that Beck stood out. He attained MIAAA all-conference honors in 1980 and 1981 and was the batting champion of the MIAAA in 1980. Rick Beck is enshrined in the Olivet College Athletic Hall of Fame.

Please join us on Friday to honor all of our inductees. Information on the other inductees will be released daily.

In an exciting hands-on project, third graders at Richardson Elementary brought their curriculum to life by raising chickens right in their classrooms. This unique educational initiative is part of their "Structures of Life" science unit. Students began by incubating chicken eggs, eagerly awaiting the hatching process. They monitored the incubator conditions, ensuring the right temperature and humidity levels, and learned about the embryonic development stages. Once the chicks hatched, the classroom buzzed with excitement. Ms. Stormer brought the project full circle by bringing in a full grown rooster “Chippy” and hen “Sunshine” for the classes to see. This particular hen was a chicken that started as an egg in Mrs. Simpson’s third grade class last year. Students integrated their ELA standards during the unit with the cultivating activity of presenting the process of raising chickens to other grade-levels. Students focused on the qualities of good speaking, and practiced sharing their research before presenting to their audiences.
