UD: So Mike, you’ve watched a lot of Sonora’s games this year and mostly focused on their defense. How do they look on film?
MO: Their front is really good, their backers play the run really well and their safeties like to come up and get involved. They play downhill football.
UD: It’s no secret that the strength of your offence is the rushing attack. Sonora has a great run defense. Does it excite you as a play caller that the strength of your offense gets to go against the strength of their defense?
MO: I think it’s going to be a good challenge. Our line has yet to play a complete game, but they are big kids and they are learning every week. They are up for the challenge.
UD: Last week was the first week all season that your team was fully healthy. In the win against Hughson, Dominic Esquivel and Alex Prevost were both hurt and you had to rely on Luke

I would say, it’s a good problem to have, but we have a lot of healthy running backs right now.
UD: Until proven otherwise, Sonora is the best team around. How do you keep your players from being intimidated, or do you think this is some intimidation towards Sonora?
MO: We are never intimidated. I think the guys are confident that if they follow the gameplan this week, we will be in the game. Obviously we have to execute. They are a good team and we have to play well. I don’t think you can find a kid out here who’s intimidated.
UD: You guys have done a great job of protecting the ball as of late. But when you play a really good team like Sonora, how important is it to not turn the ball over and potentially give them a short field to work with?
MO: When you are playing a good team, you can’t make mistakes. We had a few turnovers last year that could definitely swung the momentum. It’s hard to say, ‘Oh, go out there and don’t turn the ball over.’ Nobody’s trying to do that. You hope you don’t pay when it does happen and you try to limit the risky plays that you
Sonora junior Joe Montelongo finished the day 2 for 4 with a run scored, Nate Gookin was 1 for 3 with a run and Dalton Butow drew two walks and scored twice.
“We had a really good defensive and offensive game tonight against Escalon,We are going to make sure we keep the momentum going into our bye and make sure we give our hundred percent that last game of the TVL season.”said Hughson coach Mark Morphy
“Warnock lines up great and he’s got the best stance on the defensive line. His quickness will be a major asset for our defensive front.”
“We started off well, just being consistent and their mental attitude. If they mentally turn up right, you’re halfway their to winning,” said Antonelli.
"I think we can go strength against strength against any team in the country," Orlosky said. "I think up front especially. I think that’s our main part of our team; our backbone of our offense is our offensive line, so I think if it’s a challenge, I think we can beat that
"A lot of them, it is their first time out they’re playing and getting a lot of snaps," Askew-Henry said. "They are getting better as it goes on. I have faith in those guys and I know they are doing a good job."
“Sometimes you've got to respect what the other team can do, too,” Francona said. “Sometimes they beat you. I didn't think we beat ourselves. I thought they beat us.
The Michigan defense so far this year has been nothing short of superb. In their first six games, the defense only allowed two rushing touchdowns and less than one-hundred total rushing yards a game. (Brouwer 1). Outstanding. As sports reviewer Chris Peterson proclaims in his review for gbmwolevrine.com, “[…] when you dive deep into the numbers, [it is] hard not to call Michigan football’s defense the best in the country” (3). With their great plays on defense frustrating opposing offenses game after game, Michigan has definitely rebuilt their defense. The defense is one of the main reasons why the team is national championship worthy. Another area that the team is working on is developing their fresh quarterback.
"Well, they have a couple guys who are over 300 pounds," Crook said. "They got a couple guys who come really fast off the edge. It is what college football is today. You see great athletes lined up at defensive end that are fast, that are long, explosive and can come around the corner really quick. You are going to see guys inside that are hard to move. They anchor against the run game. You have a 300 pounder pushing into you trying to push back towards the quarterback, it's hard for a certain guard to anchor in there and stop it. Everything they do is hard to control, hard to block."
We have now gone through 3 games and a scrimmage, with another game tonight. Now, You can make all the excuses in the world for why we lost the first two. “They’re like number one in the state”, “That was a bad team for first week”, “We didn’t have all our guys”, the list could go on and on. But one thing is for sure, and that’s that there is no excuse for the way we played those first two weeks. There’s no excuse for missing blocks, running by tackles, and taking plays off! Not a single excuse you give will make that ok! You can’t do those things and expect to win games.
These running backs are staples in their team’s offense and are expected to produce big numbers each week. If you try to game-plan to stop these runners, then you will be exposed in other areas. If you are willing to let them beat you, they certainly will. This is not an exhaustive list, but it sure is a solid one.
The labor movement in the U.S., 1800’s was filled with many strikes and protests. Many of these protests and strikes were filled with violence and even some deaths.

Dear parents of a little five year old girl, The short story, Hansel and Gretel by Neil Gaiman and Lorenzo Mattotti is a must-read story for your daughter because it empowers young girls through the characterization of Gretel and teaches essential life lessons. On top of this, both Gaiman’s text and Mattotti’s illustrations give subtle, yet strong symbolism that emphasizes the lessons it teaches. Gaiman’s story begins with Gretel as a hopeless follower, but as the story progresses, she becomes more independent and courageous.
“Re-write everything and we will help you out. I am excited for your defense. It is going to be terrific!”
