BERLIN CENTER, OH- Nate Hemberger, a standout player for the West Reserve football team, showcased his talent and humble demeanor. Despite his imposing presence on the field, Hemberger’s soft-spoken nature belies his exceptional skills and achievements.

With an impressive tally of 155 tackles this season, Hemberger has set a new record for West Reserve. His recent performance, where he scored seven touchdowns – six on the ground and one through a pump block recovery – further solidifies his status as a star athlete. Hemberger credited the teamwork of his linemen, receivers, and defensive backs for his success, highlighting their crucial contributions.

What sets Hemberger apart is his exceptional blocking ability, which he openly admits preferring over any other aspect of the game. He takes pride in launching opponents downfield, showcasing his versatility as a fullback. His dedication to the team shines through as he expresses a desire to play on the offensive line, highlighting his selflessness and commitment to the game.

The interview also delved into Hemburger’s thoughts on being given more offensive touches due to an unfortunate injury. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity but emphasized his wish for a fully healthy team, acknowledging the importance of having a complete roster for playoff games.

As the team moves forward in the playoffs, Hemberger and his teammates relish the opportunity to play two home games, something West Reserve hasn’t experienced in a while. The support from their community fuels their drive and determination, setting the stage for an electrifying atmosphere at their home field.

Despite being a junior, Hemberger already shows exceptional leadership qualities, admiring the senior players who have led the team this season. He mentions Luke Henning, Joey Sigworth, and Josh Damp as exemplary leaders whose shoes he hopes to fill once they graduate. The podcast interview reveals Hemburger’s maturity and willingness to take on a bigger role in the future.

Looking beyond high school, Hemberger dreams of playing college football, a goal he has held for many years. However, should that path not materialize, he plans to pursue a career as a chiropractor. Coincidentally, his gas station order of two Red Bulls and a Slim Jim may come in handy, as he may find himself often approached for impromptu adjustments once he becomes a qualified chiropractor.

In a light-hearted segment, Hemberger shares his preference for Rod Wave’s music and mentions attending one of his recent concerts. This reveals his diverse interests and adds a personal touch to the interview.

When asked about what he would do with $1 million, Hemberger surprises with an answer that speaks volumes about his passion for football and his team. He expresses a desire to purchase turf for the football field, a gesture that would benefit the entire team and future generations of players.

As Hemberger prepares for the next playoff game against Lowville, the young athlete remains focused, humble, and eager to give his best on and off the field. His dedication, talent, and leadership qualities make him a true asset to the West Reserve football team and a role model to his peers.

/in /by

BERKIN CENTER OH- It’s never east for a football team to lose their biggest weapon. Western Reserve a team that had to manage that this season. David Altiere graduated, and he took a huge chunk of the Blue Devils offense with him. A lot of people thought they would try to stay with a ground a pound offense in 2022.  However Luke Henning has come along and turned the Blue Devils into a much more versatile attack.

Henning is already an 1000 yard passer through 8 games this season. His exact numbers are 83/141 for 1121 yards and 11 touchdowns.  On the ground Henning has 394 yards on 99 runs. That is an average of 4 yards per touch.  He has 4 touchdowns on the ground which means he’s responsible for 15 total.  Henning plays both ways as well for Reserve. He has gathered 25 tackles on the year on defense.

Luke was kind enough to join YSN’s Running Point this week to talk about the great season he’s having. Don’t miss his conversation with Anthony Romo and Ty Bartell in the latest edition of Western Reserve Football Player Profile only on YSN!
