What was the biggest lesson you learned about yourself during the 2024 season?

I learned that things are never given and always worked for.

What was the best part of the 2024 season?

Shutting out Delaware and getting to dress varsity at the end of the season

What was the toughest part of the 2024 season?

We had a lot of losses that were tough, but they were all just learning experiences.

What are you going to miss the most from the 2025 class?

All of them mentored me and my buddy and helped us whenever we needed it.

How did you get into long snapping?

I was thinking of ways to get on the field more, and I always found out that I was OK at it and then started working and got good at it in the yard.

Middle linebacker or tight end, which one do you feel you are better at?

I love MLB, and I feel better at it. I love to just lead my guys and hit some other people.

What are your goals for the season?

My goals are to help the team wherever and get some good playing time. And learn from my seniors.

What has been your biggest moment as an athlete?

In freshman year, I was able to get to varsity for the last half of my season.

What has been your most embarrassing moment as an athlete?

I really don’t remember. I try to let all those things go and not let them linger.

As a younger player, which teammate are you going to if you are having football-related problems?

Definitely Dom Clardy and Max Kurrie; they are great guys.

What are you looking forward to the most this season?

Getting some good wins and having fun with my best friends

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

Not really. I'd have to be pumped before I get on the field. So really my guys get me fired up and get me going.

What is your favorite type of music?

Rap and country

What scares you?

I guess I’d say injuries and getting hurt

What is your favorite class or subject?

Definitely math. I love it.

Two times first team all MSL, two times first team all district, two times honorable mention all Ohio What were the high and low points of the 2023 season?

Athens Bulldogs use balanced attack to down Wellston Golden Rockets 41-0

Image
  *Using the rosters from both Hudl and Max Preps* The Plains, OH Last night I made the hour-long drive to Athens High School to watch the Bulldogs host the Golden Rockets of Wellston. Entering the game, the Bulldogs came in 7-0 and ranked number 10 in division three. Wellston, much improved from last season, entered 5-2. In the game last year, Athens won 47-28. Wellston started out doing exactly what they needed to do to have a shot at winning the game. They came out and ate most of the first quarter with a drive that had last for 15 plays going for 69 yards. Things would start going wrong for them on the sixteenth play of the drive. They faced fourth and four from the Bulldogs five, and they elected to go for it, where the pass and the second attempt of the drive fell incomplete, forcing a turnover on downs. On the drive facing a third and one, Seth Lambert picked up twelve. Later on the drive facing third and fifth, Johhny Scott picked up 10-yards after he could not find anyon...
