This high level of preparation is evident in their dominating performances on the court. The gym’s often harsh conditions also provide a unique advantage. “Training in such an environment gives us a heads-up on other gyms,” Scheller mentioned, highlighting how the lack of air conditioning during the summer months makes them more resilient.

WHAT CAN 22 DO FOR YOU?

CANFIELD, OH- At Cocca’s Pizza this week, the spotlight shone brightly on Nick Berardino, the exceptional senior wide receiver and cornerback for the Canfield Cardinals. Wearing jersey number 22 with pride, Berardino’s journey from freshman year to senior stardom is nothing short of remarkable.
“It’s been a blink of an eye,” Berardino shared, reflecting on his high school career. Starting varsity as a sophomore, he quickly adapted to the demanding work ethic required to be a Cardinal, thanks to the guidance of role models like Brock Lowry, Santino  Cocca, and Danny Inglis.

For Berardino, donning the Cardinal insignia is a badge of honor. “It means representing everyone who will wear it in the future and who already has worn it and making sure you do the right things,” he explained, embodying the spirit of the team.
Asked about his personal hero, Berardino didn’t hesitate. “My dad,” he declared. A former football player himself, his father’s wisdom and character have deeply influenced Nick. “I want to be just like him.”

Off the field, Berardino is known for his academic achievements, ranking top in his class. This intellectual rigor translates seamlessly onto the field, where he’s built strong bonds with his teammates, thanks to countless hours of practice and camaraderie over summers and family vacations with fellow player and family friend, Enzo.

Leadership is a shared responsibility on the team, and Berardino’s approach is to lead by example, stepping up when needed.

Fuelled by Metallica’s “Fuel” before games and enjoying Monopoly during leisure time, Berardino is multifaceted, strong, and surprisingly open about his guilty pleasure: Rihanna’s tunes.

Family plays a pivotal role in Berardino’s life. He credits his success to the unwavering support of his parents and grandparents. “My dad is the best male role model I could ever ask for, and my mom is incredible,” he elaborated, his voice filled with admiration. His grandmother, the culinary wizard of the family, makes a birthday cake “out of this world”—a simple chocolate cake with vanilla frosting, but “made with love.”

As he heads into his final season, Berardino is set to leave an indelible mark on the Canfield Cardinals, both on and off the field. His journey through hard work, family values, and unyielding dedication highlights the true essence of a leader.
