Name: Chris Onder
School: Portage Mustangs
Position: RB/DB
When you play at Portage you are playing at a tradition rich school. What is it like being a Mustang?
It's a huge responsibility! Nothing is like Friday nights down at Portage Stadium. The atmosphere and fans are great.
Who is the best quarterback in the WestPac?
Michael Bryja at Portage. He did a great job during the 7 on 7 season going against some great athletes. He can really compete against anyone.
What are your goals for 2013?
D6 championship is always on our minds. Every year we compete but I honestly feel this is the year to go get our first D6 title!
Coach Gouse is a well respected coach in this area. What has he meant to you?
He is a great coach surrounded by great supporting staff. They are always getting film ready for us and put a lot of time and effort to make us the best team possible.
What team do you like playing against the most?
Windber. That whole week is special for us. The intensity really picks up and it's really a special game for the Portage community.
Where is the best place to eat in Portage? This is always a good tip for people attending a road game.
Mazz's Pizza! They got great food and are always supporting the mustangs.
Who has the best facilities in the WestPac?
Portage. We just got a new fitness center and we have the best field in the westpac with our amazing scoreboard!
Who is the best player in your conference?
We are going to have to see at the end of the season there are a lot of great athletes in the conference.
If you were going to recommend a series for someone to start watching on Netflix what would it be?
Friday Night Lights or Blue Mountain State!
If you were on the Amazing Race, who would your partner be and why?
The Joe Randazzo! He has been there through a lot! He was my Track partner and helped me during District Finals and now were doing it again from football to track!
Tell us something about yourself that most people don't know.
Great Gatorball player!
You are at a dance and the DJ is taking requests. What is the song you want to hear?
Cruise By Florida Georgia Line and not that crappy version with Nelly!
Describe a day in the Portage weight room.
Fast paced heavy lifting! Than we head up to the track and get a either a great speed workout or an endurance workout!
Down by 2…Fourth and goal from the 1. Are you kicking the field goal or are you punching it in?
Punch it in and get the W that way!
After you graduate, what will you miss the most about football?
Everything! From workouts in the summer and camp than to those brutal 2-A-Days and then when we win Westpac and get that D6 title!
