Looking Ahead

As the 2017 Fall sports season comes to a close, it is often a time to look back on the fond memories the student athletes of MPHS created for not only themselves, but for you, the community. We had a blast covering the Oilers football team, and hope to see them do well in the years to come. We will no doubt be keeping our eyes on many different sports teams that compete, whether it be on the ice for the hockey team, on the hardcourt in basketball, or on the diamond for Mount Pleasant's always successful baseball team. We wish everyone good luck not only on the field, but in the classroom as well. Go Oilers!

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 ...
