Oil Spills

The Oilers thought they had the game won against Grove City, but offensive pass interference nullified TB Mark Bodamer's pass to Tom Higbee for the apparent PAT after Brett McGinnis' TD in the final minute...Walt Elder's fumble recovery on the 1-foot line set up McGinnis' TD...McGinnis rushed for 519 yards on 101 carries and scored 4 TDs. He sustained a season-ending thigh injury against Hickory. Senior understudy Vance Chase filled in at LB for McGinnis against Warren and made 16 tackles. Kevin House added 14 tackles...Eric Applequist (173 yards) and McGinnis (101) were both over 100 yards against Meadville. McGinnis also had 12 tackles and Paul Harvey added 9 to go with 3 sacks...The Oilers' last two TDs of the season came off turnovers: Dan Serafin's 40-yard return of a fumble against Reynolds and Kevin Moon's 10-yard interception return against Franklin...
