Post a small recap of last season.

with personal highlights and any other big moments you have and/or memories you have from last season, whether it be a game, the bus ride to or from the game, or any other thing that sticks out.

Last season, we had a great year. We went 9-1 in the regular season and won the Big 7 Conference. One of the best games was when we beat Laurel to win the section title. We made the playoffs but lost in the first round to Jeannette.

How have you grown as a player from last season to now?

I’ve gained 10 pounds of muscle and have become more of a student of the game.

What is your game day routine?

I wake up, get ready for school, and make sure to eat a good lunch and dinner. Then I go to Sheetz to get a snack before the game and chill in the locker room an hour before pregame to get the nerves out and listen to music.

Can the band, fans, and cheerleaders get you fired up before and during the game?

Not really, but the pre-game speech by Coach Bongivengo really fires me up.

If you could take any game from your schedule and move it to any stadium in the nation, which game are you moving? And where are you playing the game?

Our first non-section game is vs. Mohawk — and I would move it to Acrisure Stadium.

How did your baseball season go?

The baseball season went pretty well. We earned the #1 seed in the playoffs but ended up losing in the second round to the eventual WPIAL champions.

Which sport do you feel you are better at, football or baseball?

I feel I am equally good at both sports. I believe I can go far in either one.

What has been your biggest moment in each sport?

My biggest moment in football had to be our game against Laurel for the section championship. I feel it really showed the kind of player I am.

My biggest moment in baseball was hitting a walk-off grand slam in Myrtle Beach to win the game.

With this being your final high school football season, are you preparing any differently than you have in the past? Explain.

I’m working much harder in the weight room and on the field. I’m also trying to be a leader and role model for the team.

Which teammate is most likely to get vocal when things are not going well at practice?

Jino Mozzocio, our team’s quarterback.

Who is the best player you have faced in a game, along with the team he was on?

Kymone Brown — Jeannette Jayhawks

Running back or safety — which one are you better at?

I feel that I’m good on both sides of the ball and can make big plays at any time.

After the season, if you get an invite to play in any of the all-star games, will you?

Yes.

Who are your favorite and least favorite NFL teams?

My favorite is the Pittsburgh Steelers.

My least favorite is the Cleveland Browns.

What is your favorite class or subject?

U.S. History

Outside of sports, what are you doing for fun?

I like to hang out with my friends and family.

My respect for other teammates, my hard work and dedication, and lifting my teammates up during hard times. What was the highlight of the 2024 season? The highlight of my 2024 season was definitely the 42-yard free kick Coach Daniel Barker had me working on all week before we played that Friday night. For those that don’t know, a free kick happens after receiving a fair catch. Your team can choose to kick a field goal off a kickoff tee from where the fair catch was received. It’s very rarely used in football now. But I did do it. I made a 42-yard free kick, and it made my season! What was the toughest part of the 2024 season? The hardest part of the 2024 season was probably finding out that my best friend ...

Jersey Number: 59 Other sports played: powerlifting Please post a small recap of last season with something like a big game you had, something about a certain game, something from a bus ride to or from the game, or something that sticks out from a practice. A big game last year for me was the game against Eastern Pike; even though the score didn’t show it, I feel like I had a good game on both sides of the ball. Eastern is always a good game. When we last spoke, you had said that 2024 would be the first year playing on the defensive line. So, how did that go? Last year was my first year playing defensive line; it went great. I loved being the one who did the dirty work for our inside linebackers! Last time we spoke, you said one of your goals was to become a leader. Were you able to achieve this goal? Yes, now that I’m considered an “upperclassman,” I feel that it’s my job to lead the upcoming pla...
