Mission eases to 48-0 victory over Fremont-Oakland
Mission’s players used to give quarterback McKinley Oliver grief for not being very fast.
“They’d say he’s no RG3,” meaning Baltimore backup quarterback Robert Griffin III, first-year Mission coach Tobias Whitley said. “But he went out for track and worked on it. Nobody is calling him slow anymore.”
Certainly nobody after Mission’s 48-0 win Saturday over Fremont-Oakland at Curt Flood Field.
Oliver first completed a 60-yard touchdown pass to DaMarr Simmons, then scored on a 50-yard run and then returned an interception 40 yards for another TD. The 6-foot, 185-pounder is also a starting linebacker.
It gave the Bears (1-2), who have just 18 players , a first varsity win for Whitley.
“He’s a good natural athlete,” Whitley said of Oliver.
