Student Athlete of the Week-Trevor Oyler

Golf is a game that requires strong focus, the ability to preserve and most importantly of all the smarts to know when to go for the pin and when to lay up. Millbrook Senior Trevor Oyler possess all those qualities and many more, making him a perfect candidate for Student Athlete of the Week.

"You've got to be able to balance both schedules pretty evenly because to keep up with some of my classes, which are pretty tough, you've got to be able to balance both time for practice and your school work," said Oyler.

This past season Trevor served as the unquestioned leader for the Pioneers. In a game like golf that is so often viewed as an individual sport you may ask how do you lead a team. As Trevor would tell you, actions speak louder than words.

"Alot of times you want to do stuff that they're doing, you want to have fun, but you've got to know when to be able to tell them to tone it down a bit, and when to get serious," said Oyler.

"He helps lead the team. If I have a problem, he can go say something to the kid to help straighten him out," said Millbrook Golf Coach Nate Hill.

Oyler wants to study architecture and lists Virginia Tech and Appalachian State as his top two choices. Now his 3.8 grade point average ought to help him with getting into college, but it's golf that helped him get that lofty GPA.

A hard worker both in the classroom and on the course, Oyler is a top notch competitor, finishing fourth at the Northwestern District Championships. And what sets him apart with his clubs in the same characteristic that makes him great with the books, Tyler is a perfectionist.

"If he wasn't the best at things, he'd get upset, get mad, he'd focus harder, he'd stay and do it until he got the drill done right, he'd work extra hard," said Hill.
