Football Team Makes Playoffs
Football finished the regular season 5-5 and qualified for the OHSAA Playoffs in Division 3 for the third consecutive year. US fell to CVCA in the First Round. Serving as team captains were seniors Chris Fioritto, Tristan Jackson, Mikey Malone, Cris Shemo, and Kam Shiver.
Senior Captain Mikey Malone share, "Playing football at US has been an unforgettable journey of growth and camaraderie. The challenges we've faced and overcome together as a team have taught me invaluable lessons in perseverance, discipline, and teamwork. I've had the privilege of learning from some of the most dedicated and passionate coaches, who not only helped me improve as a football player but also guided me in becoming a better person. The friendships I've built with my teammates will last a lifetime, and I'm extremely grateful for every moment shared with them. Although I am deeply saddened that I will never again have the chance to wear a US helmet, I am incredibly proud to have been part of such an amazing experience."
Head Coach Ben Malbasa ’96 was assisted by Cooper Allison, Marc Byrnes ‘72, Dino Comber ‘18, Jayden Cunningham ‘18, Mike Fedeli ‘18, Vince Gerace, Tremayne Harvell, Mike Henderson, Mark Jochum, Brian Kennedy, Steve Malbasa, and Spencer Paul ‘99.
