I would say pass rush is my strongest asset.

What part of your game must you work on the most to be a better player?

I should get better at the running game and gain more weight.

Who is the toughest teammate to square up against in practice?

Cooper Mccutchan and Sam Hamilton because they are very athletic and hard to get around.

What is the toughest part of practice?

Conditioning in June is pretty tough right now.

What is the best part of being a student athlete at Moeller?

I keep busy because I like being busy, so I am always doing something.

What is the toughest part of being a student athlete?

I definitely manage my time efficiently. 

Do you think it is a disadvantage for your team not to have a football field on school grounds?

I don’t think it’s a disadvantage because we deal with adversity really well. We don’t care how rocky the sea is.

Do private schools have an advantage, fair or unfair, over public schools?

I would say that private schools and public schools are on an equal playing field.

Where should the state finals be held?

I like the historical part of the state championship being in Canton at the Hall of Fame.

Throw a touchdown pass.

Yes, the energy at Nippert is crazy.

I read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald in my English class.

2024 With Head Coach Jake Heigel from Brockway High School, PA.

  Jake Heigel Brockway High  Head Football Coach Who was the best player you have ever coached against, and what team did he play for? Carson Neely, Port Allegany  Looking back from day one as a coach up to the present, what have been the low and high points of your coaching career? 2020 was a rough first year. We had maybe 15 kids on the roster in preseason sometime in late June. We ended up with probably 6 starters who had never played football in their lives, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success! I was also ejected from our game against Cowanesque Valley. We lost to DuBois 49-0 to end the difficult season... The future did not look so bright. - But fast forward to 2022, where we won our first playoff game 62-6. Followed that up with a win against the reigning western finals champion, Redbank Valley, in a 7-3 fist fight to advance to the D9 championship. In 2023, we won an overtime thriller against DuBois Area 14–13, avenging a 1-point loss at the 1-yard line the year prior.

Small school football

  As the 2024 football season approaches, I want to say thank you to all of the players, coaches, cheerleaders, band members, officials, and all of the school staff for the good times you are about to give thousands of fans this year. As a fan and a person who covers games, I often get asked why I go to as many smaller school games as I do, and I always tell those asking that there is something special about driving into a small town or village and seeing signs wishing the team well. The crowds might not be as large as the bigger school games, but to a certain extent, they are more into it. I believe that is because almost everyone knows everyone, and it is really a community by itself. The players put their pads on the same as the players at the bigger schools, and they, as with the bigger schools, give it their all as much as they can. The biggest difference some will say is talent; others will say size and speed; but more often than not, at a small school, most of the players are
