Let’s get to know Noah!
Why do you play football?
I play football for both the sport and the relationships. It is without a doubt the best team sport and you can create really strong friendships with your teammates which also makes you a better football team overall.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
Tom Brady because he had an incredible work ethic and worked hard for everything he got.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
Last season, against CB south, I scored a 65 yd rushing touchdown which was super cool.
What was last years season like for you?
It was definitely disappointing but also helped us grow. We had a good senior class but just couldn’t finish a couple games which we should have won and ended the regular season one seed away from playoffs. I think this definitely made our upcoming class of seniors even more hungry for playoffs which will show this season.
What are your goals for this coming season?
To make playoffs and most importantly beat Quakertown.
Describe what the perfect teammate is
Someone who works hard regardless of the situation and leads his teammates to do the same.
Name one thing that you’d love to do in football that may never happen?
I have always wanted to get a pick six. Has to be one of the greatest feelings in sports as a defender and worst feelings for a QB.
When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?
Golfing has recently been my go to activity if we have a day off for football. It’s such an easy and relaxing sport to play with friends or family.
What is your favorite play to run?
Either a roll out pass or designed QB run. I have always like rolling out and throwing and recently have really liked running the ball, especially early in the game. It gets the adrenaline flowing as soon as I get hit which helps me settle in for the rest of the game.
Music of choice:
Either country or rap. Definitely a lot more country during the summer and then transition to more rap songs as football season comes along.
Do you remember what the first football game you saw was?
The first football game I ever saw was a Pennridge game played at Poppy Yoder field. I don’t remember the away team but my grandfather was coaching and he let me go in the locker room after which was always cool.
