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 ...

Week 8 Preview: Arthur Hill

The Oilers have a nice matchup tonight versus Arthur Hill High School. They will be taking on the Lumberjacks in what should be a good matchup. The Lumberjacks have yet to put a mark in the win column this year, they’re currently 0-7. The Lumberjacks are going to be hungry for their first win of the season but, they are coming into this game with no momentum as they have been outscored by at least 20 points in every game so far. The Oilers are sitting at 3-4 and will be fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive. Unlike the Lumberjacks, the Oilers have momentum behind them as they are coming off back to back blowout wins. Overall expect to see a tough fought battle on both ends, the Oilers have more to fight for with a shot at the playoffs riding on these last two games. It also helps the Oilers to have this game changed from a road game to a home game. Get out and support your Oilers tonight as they fight for post season action! *Not affiliated with MPHS -Noah Burgess

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...
