Solid performer: Walk-on punter Boone leads PSU

By Guy Cipriano, Centre County Times

The ironies of college football are prevalent in Penn State sophomore Jeremy Boone’s life.

In the football hotbed of Guatemala City, a group of Boone’s relatives huddle and watch Penn State games on a satellite dish. All 12 games are viewed, including the ones on the Big Ten Network, the same channel Boone’s parents, David and Sylvia, can’t get in their Mechanicsburg home.

The MASH football and soccer programs combined for the Wildcat's Helping for the Holiday's Program this year. Both programs were able to generate over $900.00 for families in need. The funds were donated to Operation Wildcat Project Thanksgiving and Project Gift Box. Last evening, 5 members of the varsity football program went to assist filling boxes full of food & certificates that will be given to MASD families for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.

Thank you to Trudy Kruger & all of the fine folks at Operation Wildcat for allowing us to help out!

Reading with the Wildcats

Sr. Corey Clark reads to the AM kindergarten Class at Broad Street.

The Mechanicsburg Football program has started a ‘ Reading with the Wildcat’s’ program with Broad Street Elementary School . Senior football players, who are now being joined by other senior athletes, travel to Broad Street to read a book to the elementary classes. After reading to the class, our student-athletes talk with the elementary schoolers about the importance of reading and school. They then answer any questions the kids might have for them about the high school, their sport, or anything they want to ask.

All of the high school readers have commented on how nervous they are before they read and then on how much fun the experience is when they leave Broad Street.

We would like to THANK Mrs. Hoover, the Broad Street Reading teacher, & Mrs. Archibald, the Broad Street Principal, and a the entire Broad Street faculty for the opportunity to come read, speak & share with the elementary kids. This has been a great experience for all!
