Defensive Player of the Week
The Oilers put on a show last week vs Flint. There wasn't one player that stood out individually, Mainly due to the offense putting up a hefty lead and the defense not being able to stay on the field. Which is a great, it is always a good thing when your defense can get the ball back ioffense often.The highest tackle total of the game for a single player was 8 (Kevin Davis) with 4 solo and 4 asst. http://www.maxpreps.com/games/football-fall-17/flint-southwestern-academy-northwestern-vs-mt-pleasant/9-29-2017-ROy5Nd41bUWOKNfzVnYY0A.htm#tab=box-score&schoolid=1271a89c-b85b-44dd-a791-5382496c6363
The low individual tackle total wasn't because of a lack of effort on the defense but moreso an unrelenting lead by the Oilers allowed many of the second and third string players seeing a fair amount of playing time. As such, while this may be an unpopular decision, Defensive Player of the Week has to go to the whole defense. They were flying to the ball fast, breaking up passes, creating turnovers, and all in all was a complete team effort. a defensive game like that doesn't come often. When it does it is a product of assignments and technique being executed by all 11 players on that side of the field!
Tomorrow night is Homecoming and should be an exciting game that we expect the Oilers to come out with another win!
Go Oilers!
