How did the high school football season go overall?
“It was actually a surprise this year. We knew we had the talent, but I never thought we were going to go this far with winning the District 3 championship against Middletown and falling short to Tamaqua in the state quarterfinal. I didn’t think we were going to go far at first when we lost Zach Zechman in the first game against Twin Valley.”
What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“Right now, I’m swimming to stay in shape. During the springtime, I’ll be playing for Berks County Rugby Club for my 2nd season. I’ll also be hitting the weight room and getting back when I’m done with swimming.”
What are you trying to improve on the most as a player?
“I need to improve on little things like watching the ball, not jumping offsides, working on different defensive line hand moves, working on my speed and quickness, and improving on my strength this offseason.”
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“That’s a long time from now, but I think we will prove people wrong again this season. Hopefully we will win another district championship and possibly another shot on making it to states again.”
Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?
“Pottsville because they always play our team tough every year. We go up in the coal region and play them up there and it’s really hard to win at their stadium because they always make it tough on our team. Southern Columbia because they have a tradition on winning district championships and winning state championships, and they’ve been doing that every year. They haven’t lost a game since the 2016 state championship against Steel Valley and they are well coached like our team is. They also run the same offense we run, and they have some players we never faced so it might be tough of us. Conrad Weiser because we used to have a long-time rivalry with them a long time ago before we were rivals with Berks Catholic. This team always plays teams tough on their home field and will make it tough to win at.”
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Football because I’m good at it. I’ve learned a lot of the game because I can get my anger out. I have aggression when I play, and I always want to become the best player I can be. I have always liked it ever since I’ve played.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“Most schools just have shown interest. I have received replies and DMs from different coaches from Lycoming College, Lebanon Valley College, Misericórdia, Alvernia, Keystone College, Juniata College, Albright, Thaddeus, Grove City Ursinus College, and Kings College.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“I haven’t really gotten to because I’ve been busy with sports and school right now. Hopefully I have time to take more visits to these schools.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Penn State.”
