    Post-Gazette High School Football Coach of the Year: Tom Nola
    Title, record put Clairton's papa bear in spotlight
    Friday, December 23, 2011
     
    I had the "Pleasure" of attending a game of Clairton's this year and i dont know how this guy does it. the people that attended this game were prob the most annoying people in the world. my dad also brough that all the kids dads, yes i know heir dads were actuly there, but anyway the kids dads would just harrase the coah telling them to pu tyrone in or lil JJ or who ever in and if i was him i def would have gave them a piece of my mind. but he does have the most talent in Class A but his kids had like 5 or 6 personal fouls that game. he def deserves it he is the only wpial coac to win states this year and the kids he has to deal with r something else. hats off to you Tom Nola you deserve it.

    The End

    it was the last regular season game i would ever play in highschool. it was a chilly night in aliquippa late in the fourth quarter under min left and we just about to lose the game 31-14 and i was on the verge of tears and mind you on the field im very physical and dont take any shit from anyone. so were running out the clock and i pancake this kid and im on him roughing up a little. and i get up and he shoved me in the back and i just truned around and drilled that kid right in the face and his head like snapped back and it was right in front of the ref and i just see the flag go up and i imedently jogged to the sideline and got screamed at so bad. i was so embaressed and felt so ashamed of myself.

    [edit] Early years

    Pouncey was born in Ardmore, Oklahoma. He attended Lakeland High School in Lakeland, Florida, where he was a standout lineman for the Lakeland Dreadnaughts high school football team.[1] As a senior in 2006, he helped lead Lakeland High to its third consecutive Florida Class 5A state championship and second straight USA Today national championship.[1]

    [edit] College career

    Pouncey accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida,[1] where he played for coach Urban Meyer's Florida Gators football team from 2007 to 2010.[2] As a freshman in 2007, he started the season as an offensive lineman but had to move to the defensive line as replacement when several defensive starters were injured.[1] Pouncey started four of thirteen games as a freshman, recording eight tackles and an interception.[1] As a sophomore in 2008, he moved back to the offensive line and started all fourteen of the Gators' games at right guard,[1] including the Gators' 24–14 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2009 BCS National Championship Game. After his junior season in 2009, Pouncey was named an Associated Press honorable mention All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection and a Pro Football Weekly first-team All-American.[1] As a senior team captain in 2010, he moved from guard to center for the Gators,[1] replacing his twin brother Maurkice Pouncey at center,[3] after Maurkice entered the 2010 NFL Draft following his junior year.[4]

    [edit] Professional career

    Pouncey (right) works with fellow Dolphins center Joe Berger before a game in 2011.
    Pouncey graded out as the top center and guard prospects in the 2011 NFL Draft.[5] He was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the first round with the 15th pick overall.[6]

    [edit] Personal

    Pouncey's identical twin brother Maurkice Pouncey was selected 18th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2010 NFL Draft.[7] He is one minute older than Maurkice.[8] Pouncey has a daughter, Janiyah, who was born in 2008.[8]

    Pouncey received an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida,[2] where he played for coach Urban Meyer's Florida Gators football team from 2007 to 2009.[3] As a freshman in 2007, Pouncey started 11 of 13 games for the Gators at right guard.[2] As a sophomore in 2008, he started all 14 of the Gators' games at center, including the BCS National Championship Game against Oklahoma, and he was an honorable mention All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection.[2] As a junior in 2009, he was a first-team All-SEC selection and a consensus All-American, receiving first-team honors from the Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and the Walter Camp Football Foundation, and second-team honors from the Associated Press.[3][4] He was awarded the Rimington Trophy after his junior season in 2009, and thereafter, he decided to forgo his senior year of eligibility and enter the 2010 NFL Draft.[5]

    [edit] Allegation

    Florida and the NCAA are investigating an allegation that Pouncey received $100,000 from a representative of a sports agent between Florida's loss to Alabama in the Southeastern Conference title game and its 2010 Sugar Bowl win over Cincinnati. The alleged representative was not named.[6] On July 21, 2010, Pouncey released a statement calling the claim that he received $100,000 "absolutely ridiculous,"[7] and the NCAA has not publicly released any further information in the matter.

    A moment that will last a life time

    A snapshot moment in my life is when ben simmen swated the ball away from the kid from hopewell to win the wpial championship. I will never forget that. I have never been so excited in my life, it was prob the crazist moment ever. Im getting goosebumps just thinking about it. How the situation came about was it was 3 and 20something and instead of running draw with shell to get close they threw it to mark ross which would have been another touchdown but jared buck swated the ball away. Then it brought up 4 and long under 1min left to go in the game from like the 30 yardline and west a is up by 8 points the score was 28-36 and matt hundeski drops back and uncorks one to I think mark ross and it would have been a touhdown to potential tie the game but ben had something to say about it and came outta nowere to save the game. Everyone on the sidline went crazy and was running around then we too a knee and were the 2009wpial champions the stormed the field. It was one moment in my life that I will never forget. The 09 team will always have a special place in my heart.
