Opponent breakdown - Bay City Western

For homecoming week, The Mount Pleasant Oilers take on the Bay City Western Warriors. The Oilers are coming off a huge victory over Flint Southwestern with a score of 48-14. They were able to run and pass the ball successfully obtaining 368 yards in total offense. Cole Smallwood ran the ball 14 times for 137 yards and three touchdowns. Jackson Ostrowsky completed seven of eight passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns. If they see the same success offensively, the Oilers have an excellent chance to be victorious because the Warriors have a 200-point differential between them and their opponents. Through the first six games of the season, they have only scored 20 points. If the Oilers score early, they will put extreme pressure on the Warriors to respond offensively. Furthermore, the Warriors run the spread offense most of the time. Therefore, expect the Oilers to stay in their base cover-four defense keeping everything in front of them challenging the Warriors to run the football. The Oilers will most likely play it safe keeping the ball on the ground to control the clock. The game is tomorrow at 7p at Community Memorial Stadium! If one would like to check out the homecoming festivities, the parade starts around 4:45p in downtown Mount Pleasant!

Mount Pleasant's Freshmen Football Team Dominance For those unfamiliar with the ninth grade football players at Mt. Pleasant high school, let me inform you all. They are traveling to Heritage tomorrow with a record of 7-0-1, the tie coming against cross-town rival Midland. The last two years have been a struggle for the freshmen team posting records of 5-4 in 2015 and 4-5 in 2016. A large part of this year's team success is because of the involvement Varsity head coach Jason Mcintyre has with the rocket league team in Mount Pleasant. Not only does he familiarize them with the play calling and running exact plays which the high school does, but he also teaches them proper fundamentals of form and angle tackling, blocking, ball security, and basic zone coverages. All of which are things freshmen coaches struggle teaching because players have only played football since middle school or it may be their first year. His involvement directly translates to the high school level and s

In the Spotlight: Caleb Vasquez

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
