Arroyo's Chris MacMillan might be the longest tenured OC in The Mid.
Welcome to Awards Season
Arroyo HC Jim Singiser handles the defense and does all the growling, but it’s MacMillan, with his lap top, that keeps the Knights offense humming.
MacMillan has been the Arroyo OC for nine seasons and for nine seasons the Knights passing attack has been one of the most dangerous and well respected in the division.
It helps having Steven Rivera, but it also helps having someone put the pieces around him.
For four years Rivera put up amazing numbers and during his three breakout seasons of 2009 (Chris Rodriguez), 2010 (Anthony Miller), and 2011 (Hunter Duran) he did it with a different leading receiver each year.
Things like this don’t happen in a vacuum, they happen because somebody knows their business. The Knights averaged 35 points a game in 2011 after losing key receivers and a thousand yard back (Mike Vasquez) after 2010.
MacMillan, an Arroyo alum, plugged in the pieces and the result was an offense that averaged even more than the school’s 2004 semi-final team.
For that effort and result MacMillan is the Mid Valley Sports “Offensive Assistant of the Year” in 2011.
