You are a star on the rise who plays at a high level in both football and basketball. Of the two sports, which one do you feel you are best at right now?

I feel like I am best at football.

How long have you played each sport?

I played both sports for 6 years.

What was the highlight of the football season?

The game when I hurdled that kid and ran it in for a touchdown

What was the toughest aspect of the football season?

The toughest aspect was I feel like learning how to take a loss and not to get down about it and learn from it.

Of the two wins that you guys posted in football, which one meant the most to you? Explain

The one that meant the most to me was the Miami Trace game because I had 4 tds, and that was the best game I played all year, and I was happy he beat a good team.

Which loss hurt the most?

Portsmouth West game because we definitely should have won that. We went in at half 17 to like 3 and came out in the second half, and we weren’t ready to play, and we just let them run it all over us.

In football and then basketball: What part of your game do you feel is the best right now?

I feel like the best part of my football game is just winning a game for my team and getting yards and TDs. For basketball, I feel like it is getting to the rim and finishing.

With a new coach coming in football, what do you believe will change in a way that will make you guys better?

I feel like the new coach was a very good thing. I feel like our coach is going to get us ready for games and make us 10 times better this year, and we are going to make it far this year.

Who was the best player you went up against during the 2024 football season, along with the team he played on?

Definitely Nolan; he was probably the best player we went against, and he was on Jackson. They were a pretty good team but played dirty some plays.

How has the basketball season gone for you and the team so far?

Basketball has been great so far for me and the team. We had some games where we should have definitely won, but we also had some big games we won. We are doing better than last year.

What are your goals for the basketball season?

My goals for basketball season are just to make it far in the tournament and have a winning record.

What makes you a good teammate?

  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 t...
