Do old-timers say you remind them of former St. Rita star Billy Marek?

I don't know who Billy Marek is. But Im going to find out. How do you approach tonights Mount Carmel game?

I prepare for it like another game, but there is more intensity in practice. Youve got to be focused because you know they will be a tough team to play. The St. Rita-Mount Carmel rivalry dates to 1924.

How big a deal is it? Its a bigger atmosphere than most games we play. Some players are friends, live in the same neighborhood and hang out together.

It always plays a big role in who wins the Catholic League Blue. Its the one game you know that a lot of people are excited about. As a sophomore, you finished third in state wrestling at 160 pounds.

Do you prefer wrestling or football? Football. I played football first but I was better at wrestling first.

Last year, I was ranked No. 1 most of the the year but lost in the sectional and state. It will be a failure if I don't win this year.

The best piece of advice you have received? My grade school wrestling coach, Carl Forside, told me: ...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
