CANFIELD, OH-  Under the bright lights of Rominger Stadium, South Range senior Gaven Nagy continues to emerge as a key player and leader for the Raiders. In an exclusive interview during the South Range Raiders Show, hosted by DJ Yokley from Giangelos, Nagy shared insights into his journey, camaraderie with teammates, and aspirations for his final high school season.

Nagy fondly recalled a trip to Italy over the summer, highlighting the profound impact it had on him. “I got to meet my family again, and the experience was unforgettable. The food was incredible, and the scenery, particularly the ocean, was breathtaking,” he remarked, despite admitting the long bus rides were a challenge.

Reflecting on his senior year, Nagy doesn’t let the significance of his final season escape him. Encouraged by his coaches to make every moment count, Nagy remains focused on ensuring that he and his teammates leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of excellence. “I didn’t want to leave anything behind or have any regrets about how hard I played,” he emphasized.

With aspirations for another state championship, Nagy keeps his eyes on mastering the fundamentals and executing plays with precision. His leadership extends off the field as well, aiming to mentor younger players just as former teammate Shane mentored him. “I want to put someone under my wing and help them learn, just like Shane did for me,” Nagy stated, mentioning teammates Hiscox and Vorshack as potential mentees.

Family remains a cornerstone of Nagy’s support system, with his mother’s and relatives’ unwavering presence fueling his drive. “Having them in the stands means everything to me,” Nagy said with visible appreciation.

As he looks ahead, Nagy remains dedicated to maintaining his work ethic, a trait he admires in his grandfather, and making meaningful connections, much like his outgoing mother. When asked about his Canfield Fair traditions, Nagy revealed a fondness for the fair’s pasta bread bowl, made special by the people who prepare it.
In his final words of advice for aspiring young athletes, Nagy kept it simple and profound: “Work hard and never give up.”

As Gaven Nagy takes to the field for the remainder of the season, Raider Nation watches eagerly, inspired by his dedication and leadership both on and off the gridiron.
