2022 PFN Player Spotlight: Gavin Eckley – Bald Eagle Area

I play football because of the rush it makes you feel when you run out onto the field and everyone is cheering for the team. I also love playing with my family and playing with them every Friday night.

My best memory was when we beat Sharon in the state playoffs my Freshman year.

My biggest fan is my dad because he has never missed a game and was my peewee coach when I was little.

My biggest role model is my uncle. He has taught me many great life lessons. He is also a very humble man and would do anything for anyone.

My desired major in college is turf management.

In my opinion, the toughest place to play is at Tyrone’s field, they always have a huge student section and it makes it hard to focus sometimes. The grass field doesn’t help either especially when it rains.

My personal goal this year is to break the all-time school record held by one of our coaches for kick/ punt return.

Indeed a hot dog is a sandwich because it is between two pieces of bread.

A sport that I would love to play is hockey because there is a lot of hitting and slamming people into the glass.

My most embarrassing sports moment is when I dropped a touchdown pass against Huntington in the wide-open end zone.
