Pat Snyder, Jordan Donaldson, Don Donaldson, Dave Bailey

[Coach]

Jordan Donaldson... A top 6-7 candidate?

[Tussey Mt. fan]

Jordan Donaldson... A top 6-7 candidate?

Yes and could easily be top 4. Multiple 1,000 yard rushing seasons in football. 1,000 point scorer in basketball. Several PIAA medals in the 400 and 800.

[Husker33]

Jordan also was 1st team all state in FB his senior year plus he a solid track career at Bucknell.

BIG TIME ..."NOT SO FAST"..my friends...The drawback for some others would be the only one sport standout...but don't ignore state runner-ups Jeff Husick and Jim Leabhart....Definitely Husick is the frontrunner and deserving on there..(And yes, at one time, TM had boistorous wrestling crowds too)..Also Baseball players Dave McDonald and Steve Winfield were looked at by some clubs too...

They tell me Larry Wyles too

I would go Larry Wyles, Craig Enyeart, Jeff Husick and Dave Bailey

Depending on the school that you consider him to represent, Peter Riley deserves to be mentioned. State gold medalist in Tennis while playing for Tussey. He attended NBC, though.

[abpk2903]

He doesn't come anywhere close to the top 4 but worth mentioning is Kevin Steele. Tussey football was literally the laughing stock of the state. Players were graduating from the program without even winning a game and he took them to a district final. He left for Bedford and Smith has continued to grow the program into one of the better small public programs in the area. I know some may have a bad taste in their mouth from him leaving, but that program was literally in extinction.

[Skoal 1]

1- Lindsay Baker
2- Dave Bailey
3- Craig Enyart
4- Jordan Donaldson

Reter Riley is extremely deserving but it should be for NBC since that is where he attended school and co-oped with Tussey for Tennis

Honorable Mention - Jeff Husick, Don Donalson, Larry Wyles, Pat Snyder, Dave McDonald,

[LATitan]

Maybe an add... maybe as an honorable mention...

It's important to understand that Tussey Mountain was created in 1960 as a merging of Robertsdale, Six Mile Run, and Saxton High Schools... in the mid 1950's a kid came out of Wood, PA, and played for Robertsdale High School, by the name of Don McKeta...

Don left Robertsdale to join the army, but played football there, was recruited by the University of Washington... he became a team captain during the 1959 season, and played in and WON two Rose Bowls for Washington in 1960 and 1961. He subsequently played in Canada for a while, but got hurt... Nevertheless, one of the best and most successful athletes to ever come out of the area...
