In the Spotlight: Caleb Vasquez

Image
Caleb Vasquez is coming off his final season of football at Mount Pleasant High School. The Senior Tackle has had quite a journey throughout his time as an Oiler making lifelong memories with his friends and teammates, on and off the field. Caleb was kind enough to do an interview and answer a few questions about the season, his memories at Mount Pleasant High School, with football in general, and what his future plans are looking like. -The season did not end the way you expected it to, but what can you take away from this season? "Of course I am upset we didn't make the playoffs, but I wouldn't take anything back that happened this season because it showed me and my teammates how to fight back and never give in. We started off the season 1-4 unfortunately and I knew people were doubting us, so as a team we all focused on one game at a time and we ended up winning the last 4 games of the season to end up with a positive record of 5-4" -Favorite game/memory ...

Defensive Player of the Week

For the second week in a row Mount Pleasant played dominant football in their 43-7 win over Bay City Western. These types of wins are always nice as it gets your depth players more time on the field while your starters can rest. As such, a bunch of Oilers made plays in big ways. According to Max Preps ( http://www.maxpreps.com/games/football-fall-17/bay-city-western-vs-mt-pleasant/10-6-2017-nvz7CKF-p02Lfo64MD2jqQ.htm#tab=box-score&schoolid=1271a89c-b85b-44dd-a791-5382496c6363 ) 25 oilers recorded tackles for a total of 111 (includes assisted) The Defensive Player of the Week for this game goes to Hunter Norris. He tallied for himself 6 solo tackles while also making 7 assisted tackles. In games like these it is hard to give one single player considering the volume of players that are getting snaps. Norris however stood out as a player who was able to make plays for the Oilers consistently while he was on the field. Norris will look to continue making big plays for the Oilers as t...
