Congratulations to one of our PASD November Student Athletes of the Month.
Mr. Nick Wilfong is a Junior member of the Gator football team playing primarily cornerback and wide receiver. He has also played point guard on the varsity basketball team and shortstop and pitcher for the baseball team. He also spent one year competing on the Gator wrestling team. At this point Nick has earned 7 varsity letters in his athletic career.
Nick has been an all star in the North Allegheny Baseball League and the D9 Football League. He was also a Big 30 All star for football.
Outside of athletics Nick is involved in his church Youth Group and is a new inductee into the National Honor Society. His favorite classes are English and Gym. His favorite teachers are Mr. VanGorden and Mr. Clark.
Nick has looked up to his older brother and 2024 PAHS graduate, Levi. Levi played football, basketball and track & field in his years at PAHS. Nick’s favorite athlete is Tim Tebow because “he never gives up and is strong in his faith.”
From Coach Bienkowski:
“Nick Wilfong is a vital part of our success on the football field. He has established himself as a premiere cornerback in District 9. More importantly, his selfless attitude and ability to make adversity into a positive make him a stellar choice for this recognition. He’s an even better student and human being, which makes Nick an asset to any team or organization that he is a part of.”
A coaching message that has remained with Nick is to “listen to the message…not how it’s being delivered.”
His advice to future Gators is simple: “Hit the weight room.”
Nick plans to attend a 4-year college after his graduates from Port Allegany High School and play baseball.
