ROSTER
Averaging 6-foot-21⁄2 and 255
pounds, Greensburg Central Catholic’s
line will cast shadows at the
line of scrimmage and give the
Centurions room to operate on
each side of the football.
“I’d imagine that has to be one
of largest lines in single-A,” coach
Bret Colbert said. “They are all at
least Division II players, and we
also have some capable backups.”
Among the big blockers are two
senior newcomers: transfers Mark
Mizerak (Monessen) and Matt
Metrosky (Greensburg Salem).
The double-M’s will be a tough
matchup.
Mizerak is 6-5, 305 pounds, and
Metrosky is no featherweight at
6-2, 270.
“Mark is huge, and he can play,”
Colbert said. “Matt can move. A
coach at Pitt said he’d give him a
walk-on (offer) right now.”
Another key returnee up front
is junior Cole Spivak, whom Colbert
believes is an Ivy League-type
player.
Senior A.J. Johnston and junior
Joe Smelka are other linemen to
watch, and junior Alexander Colcombe
(6-2, 215) returns at defensive
end and is set to switch to tight
end on offense.
Skill-wise, GCC once again has
plenty of options.
Senior David Altimore played
most of the last season at quarterback,
but a sophomore Nate Dlugos
is waiting in the wings.
The one who does not line up
under center will help the team in
other ways.
“I think we can be very good,”
said Altimore, who threw for more
than 1,000 yards and 14 touchdowns
as a junior.
“The line is looking really good
so far, and I’m excited to see what
they can do. And having experienced
guys helps a lot, especially
when teaching some of the younger
players who will have to step up
this year.”
Versatile junior Joe Blahovec,
who had 19 catches last season, will
have an increased role on offense
after GCC graduated a number of
talented skill-position players.
Another key transfer who likely
will provide a spark is sophomore
Amari Mack, who comes in from
Jeannette.
“He is a legit player,” Colbert
said.
Junior Aaron Stasko is another
pass-catching threat, and the
backfield should include senior
Zach Dlugos, junior Danny Dlugos
and juniors Dan Voelker and Zach
David.
Danny Dlugos averaged 7 yards
per carry.
Linebacker looks like the motor
of the defense, with the Dlugos
brothers — “Dlugi,” as Colbert
calls them — leading the way. Danny
had a team-high 94 tackles and
Zach, 48. The latter will play outside
in a hybrid-type role.
Zach Dlugos and Colcombe will
be keys in a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme.
Colbert said Blahovec and Mack
are valuable secondary players,
along with Voelker at safety.
“The kids are excited,” Colbert
said. “They’re hungry. A lot has
changed with their bodies and
work ethic.
“I hope they get the chance to
show what they’ve done.”
