It’s a familiar name at Greensburg Central Catholic football. There’s a long list of Centurians with the Dlugos name. Nick’s grandfather Don was a Centurian, father Rob was a running back. His brothers Zach & Nate played for GCC. Younger brother Tommy is up and coming. His cousins Dan and Henry played as well as and upcoming Centurian Sam…so as you can see there’s quite a history for the Dlugos family at GCC.
Coach John “JT” Thompson: “Nick’s family has a large history of playing football. He’s a multi sport athlete and an outstanding student”
