GETTING TO KNOW MORE ABOUT GAVIN:

What is the best part of being a student-athlete at Brookville High School ?
The best part of being a student athlete at Brookville High School is the amazing coaches I have been so lucky to have throughout my time as a Blue Raider. Their knowledge of the game as well as their commitment to the student athletes makes our school the best place to play high school football.

How long have you been playing football(any level) ?
10 years

Of all the road games you have played, which stadium had the best overall atmosphere, along with what made it so good ?
Kane Stadium from District 9 Semi-final game against Karns City. The crowd was so involved in the game, we won 42-41 and had to let the other team score just to give ourselves the ability to win the game. It went against everything in my mind to “let” them score.

If the game is on the line, do you want to be on offense or defense ? Explain:
Defense! I feel like I have the ability to affect the outcome of the game more as a defensive player than as an offensive player in the crucial moments of a game.

Taking 6th place at the 2024 PA State Wrestling Championship Tournament.

Beating Karns City for the District 9 Semi-final matchup by 1 point.

To use the achievements of the 2023 season as motivation and a stepping stone to win the District 9 Championship.

What sports movie could you watch every day if you had to pick one, and why ?
When the Game Stands Tall, I think it has a great message, “those that exalt themselves, shall be humbled and those that are humble, shall be exalted.” One of the greatest quotes ever from a movie, based on true events.
