DREXEL HILL – Maxwell Football Club President, Ron Jaworski, announced Thursday night that Brendan Nosovitch, a senior from Allentown Central Catholic high school, was recognized as the first ever Pennsylvania Player of the Year.

“It’s a great honor and special,” said Nosovitch. “I will cherish this forever. To be considered with all these athletes is exciting.”

This took place at the Club’s 27th annual awards dinner at Drexelbrook Country Club in Drexel Hill. In addition, the Maxwell Football Club honored 61 Henry finalists with Mini-Max trophies. The Mini-Max are awarded to the region’s top senior football players. The region is made up of players from District 1,3,11,12 and Independent schools.

In his senior season, Nosovitch passed for 3,809 yards and 39 touchdowns. He rushed for 841 yards on 134 carries and 20 touchdowns.

He is the state’s career record holder with 12,809 total yards of offense.

His junior year his team went 16-0 and won their third PIAA Class 3A championship. “It was a special season,” said Nosovitch.

Nosovitch finished the season with 4,759 yards of total offense (3,112 passing and 1,647 rushing) and accounted for 68 total touchdowns (43 passing and 25 rushing).

Not only is he a good player, but he gets it done in the class room with a 3.3 GPA and he scored 1810 on his SAT. He is also a volunteer coach and a speaker at church events.

This summer Nosovitch will be playing in the Big 33. He is currently recovering from shoulder surgery. “I am planning on playing in the game,” said Nosovitch.

Nosovitch will join the New Jersey player of the year (James Cashman from Haddonfield high school) at the Maxwell Football Club National Awards Dinner at Harrah’s in Atlantic City on March 2nd and one of them will receive the club’s highest high school honor, the Jim Henry Award, as it’s player of the year.

The past 26 winners of the Jim Henry award will decide who wins the award.

If Nosovtich wins he could become the third player from District 11 to win the Jim Henry award. Austin Scott (Parkland) and Dan Persa (Liberty) are the other two winners from District 11.

This fall Nosovitch will take his show on the road at South Carolina. In the audience was one of his future coaches, Steve Spurrier Jr.

   Congratulations to Brendan. I’ve seen 99 percent of his games the last 3 years and he is without a doubt the greatest football player not only from Central Catholic but in Lehigh Valley football history. Not even close. What makes him special is he also gets it done in the classroom. Scoring 1810 in his SAT’s. Not like some of these clowns who can’t even spell their names. And yes Jackie he is allowed to win the award!
