Justin Osterhouse vs. Grand Blanc In the second game of the football season, against one of the best teams in the state, Justin Osterhouse put up one of the best performances you will ever see. He was playing in his second-ever varsity game, and ironically, the Rangers battled against the 10th best team in Michigan, Grand Blanc. Although the Rangers lost due to a devastating 76-yard, game-winning...

  Sam Yeager's record-breaking run at states Senior Sam Yeager, a workhorse on the boys cross country team, and his hard work finally paid off in a record-breaking performance on Saturday, November 6, where Sam would become the second Ranger to eclipse the sub 16 mark in the 5,000-meter event. His time of 15:52 snuck him into the top 20 at the MHSAA LP Division 1 State Finals for 5,000 meters...

  Jack McNamara At one point, it was fair to call Jack McNamara an unsung hero. Now, though, that’s a complete distortion of the truth. Although the senior outside linebacker frequently did the dirty work on defense by spilling running backs to the outside with his lanky frame, he was also capable of filling up the stat sheet on the best defense in the OK White Conference according to M...

Regardless, the two beastly linemen came to be three-year starters for an extremely stout Ranger offensive and defensive line. Not only did Carter and Will dominate opposing teams in their senior season,...
