Tomco attends Junior Day Football National Showcase in Texas
MAX OSWALD | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 1 year, 6 months AGO
I grew up in the small town of Orwigsburg, Pa., where I resided all of my life before moving to Sandpoint. I attended Blue Mountain High School, where I participated in cross country and track and field, a sport that I ended up falling in love with. I went on to attend and run for DeSales University (with other brief stints at Susquehanna University and Elizabethtown College) and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sport communication with a minor in sport management. I remember just how great it made me feel when I was mentioned in my hometown newspaper. I want to be able to give that feeling to every athlete in Bonner County, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. As an athlete myself, I know how many hours of work are put in on a daily basis, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. It is my goal to cover as much of the Bulldogs, Spartans and Wampus Cats as I can. I want to work with every athlete, parent, coach, administrator and the community to ensure the best stories are published. | July 18, 2023 1:00 AM

At the event in Moscow, each player received verbal feedback, evaluations and instruction from different college coaches from Hartnell College, Oklahoma Baptist University, Pacific University Oregon, University of Puget Sound and University of La Verne.
At the national showcase, Tomco was praised by college coaches for his technique on the offensive line. The colleges who attended, included, but are not limited to, Bowie State University, Rocky Mountain College, Texas Lutheran University, Western Connecticut State and Kentucky Wesleyan.
