As we hit the midway point of our regular season the coaches and I were reflecting on our season. Had a few small, but costly, mistakes been eliminated, we could be 4-1…With that said, we’re not, but we are playing like it! Practice was outstanding this week. Unfortunately this week we’ll be without our top tackler Ethane Sunder, ankle injury, and top rusher Jake Perry, knee injury. Luckily for us we have the next men up. Even with a small group of dedicated young men we have players that want to opportunities to play.
Last Week Jesse Vasquez was a spark on the offense blocking for Braydon Rogers when Jake went down. Mike Trejo and Manny Bautista are growing up fast. Being only a freshman and sophomore they are quickly becoming quite a blocking machine for our running backs. Colby Stevens had a nice game last week scoring two TD’s and as a sophomore, really making a name for himself. The point is even with the small group of guys, we have been playing for each other and that is a goal we set out to accomplish at the beginning of the year.
This week we play Oak Park, coach Casey Webb has them at 4-1! They are big and they are explosive. They like to put the ball in the air. Sophomore Eddie Perez will have the pleasure of guarding their number one receiver Senior #6 Reese Smith…I am confident Eddie will step up to the challenge. Our pass rush from Austin Cansler, Devon Page, Brendon Looker and Anthoney Rodriguez need to coral Senior Quarterback Vincenzo Granatelli, he leads the Canyon league in passing at 1066 yds. Looking forward to that match up.
Come Friday night we will go into the game with what we got and play with our hearts, guts, pride, emotion and the will to come out on top! Looking forward to seeing you there!!
Go Rangers!
