It was a successful season for the Varsity Neshaminy Football team. With a team total of 76 touchdowns and 16 interceptions, they have had a long run and for the seniors, it is bittersweet to see this all come to an end.
Luke Carrezola has wrapped up his senior year as a tight end. Carrezola started his Varsity career sophomore year and has been a driving force for both ends ever since. As a double –end player, Carrezola has run 45 total receiving yards this season. Carrezola has left his mark at Neshaminy High School and will be continuing his football career on an athletic scholarship at University of Connecticut, a Division One school.
“Being on this team meant a lot to me. It has been a dream of mine since I was 6. Being able to play with this team was a real blessing.” Carrezola said.
It has been an impressive year ending the season with 13 wins and two losses. Bringing the year to a close as District Championships has left Carrezola with great memories.
“I’d like to say thank you to all of the fans that shows up for our games. You don’t know how much we love you guys,” Carrezola said.
In the defensive end position, Carrezola has racked up 144 tackles in his three years on the Neshaminy football team, ranked sixth among PA defensive ends. Not only is Carrezola an essential part of the team (being one of two captains), he is a fan favorite. A massive cutout of Carrezola’s head can be seen hoisted up by his adoring fans in the student section.
Graduating this year, Carrezola will miss is high school football days, but is moving on to play for a Division One school and bring what he has learned at Neshaminy to the college level. Carrezola will be missed by his fellow students, players, and the coaches who have been with him for three years of football.
