Oak Grove has a good shot at winning the MHAL. Return its core of RBs and spreads the ball around. QB and top two RBs return and several starters on the line on both sides. They should reload. Will need to pass the ball to beat a St Francis type this year. Offense didn't throw the ball much last season, but maybe more if Junior Mcgovern (up from JV) wins QB starting. If not, could see him rotate in as well or play another skill position and is mobile. Team returns league MVP RB/OLB Tuiono who is very good on both sides of the ball. They should be a sound team next season. Maybe a top 8-15 type team in CCS in my opinion and probably >10. They have decent speed at skill positions but not of some of their best teams in the past.
Key players:
Returners: Anu Tuiono, Sr., OLB/RB, 5-10, 180, League MVP, excellent defender leading rusher on team; John Quezada, Sr, C/DT, 5-7, 200, all league 1st team; Jelani Brown , Sr, DL/TE, 6-2, 245, all league 1st team; Dillan Misaalefua, Jr, OL, 6-5, 300, all league 1st team; Jacob Harvey, Jr, RB/WR, 5-7, 160, second team all league; Joel Gomez, Sr, TE/DE, 6-0, 200, second team all league; Grady Ryan, Jr, ILB, second team all league; Rasaan Fontenette, Sr., RB/OLB, 5-9, 185, a returning leading RB; Frederick Salazar, QB/FS, Sr., 5-10, 170, returning starter, passed some and relatively accurate ; Enrique Rivera, Sr, SS/RB, returner on both sides of ball.
Up from JV:
Tyler Mcgovern, Jr, QB, 6-2, 175, up from JV. Mobile (makes plays with his legs and fast) and throws the ball well at times. High upside if he puts the work in.
