Oswego East Wins Fifth Annual Cross Town Challenge

The following announcement was provided by Allied First Bank.

It came down to the very last game of the year, but Oswego East was triumphant and won its first Crosstown Challenge for the 2010-2011 school year. Four-time winner Oswego High School came into the spring season down two full points, and almost came back to win the Challenge with some impressive performances in April and May, but fell justs hort.

The Challenge has been hotly contested in the past few years. In fact, the 2009-2010 season ended in a tie. Had Oswego won the last baseball game of the season, this year’s Challenge would have been a tie as well.

“Congratulations to Oswego East,” said Allied First Bank VP of Marketing AndyHardin, “Winning this year was a tremendous accomplishment, but both schools should be proud. They both fielded some tremendously successful teams this school year and the fact that the Challenge is so close speaks to the competitive nature of both schools. I’m sure next year will be even better.”

Allied First Bank is has partnered with the Oswego High Schools in launching the Crosstown Challenge. The Crosstown Challenge is a friendly competition between both schools which tracks their head-to-head match-ups for all scheduled, regular season inter-scholastic sporting events.

The school with the most head-to-head victories atthe end of each school year is awarded the traveling trophy and gets to display it at the school for the next school year. You can see results, and follow the Challenge at www.crosstownchallenge.com
