Interesting tidbit for Friday's Oshkosh North - Fondy game

I had a chance to talk to both football coaches at Oshkosh North and Fond du Lac earlier today for a story in Friday's paper, and discovered they both run the exact same version of the Wing-T offense.

First-year Fondy coach Brad Kozaczuk used this offense as an assistant in Virginia, while second-year North coach Chris Kujawa picked it up at a clinic.

Neither coach would reveal too much of their playbook to me, but I'd imagine both teams are going to run the ball quite a bit. The Spartans had trouble doing just that last year, despite a great running back in the since-graduated Charlie Raboin and two 300-pound tackles.

But Kujawa said there's a new attitude in the locker room and on the practice field, so I'd expect Friday's game to be closer than some of you may think.
