Improved Wolves look to finally win one against the Panthers.
Oswego High School and Oswego East High School have been playing each other in a crosstown football game for six years. And for six years Oswego has emerged victorious. The Wolves hope to change all that tonight. “There’s a tremendous amount of pride in both our high schools,” said Oswego High School Principal Mike Wayne. “Big games like these are a way to bring the Oswego community together.
