A recap of these two teams:
-Osbourn is the defending Northwest Region champs and finished last season 9-5. They return 14 starters from that team including quarterback-receiver tandem of the Keith brothers, Thomas and Timmy.
-Forest Park lost all but three starters from a Bruins club that finished the year 4-6. Jared Johnston takes over at quarterback, providing a dual threat under center.
