Mike Mastovich | 'All have a different personality': Berlin Brothersvalley's Janidlo triplets contribute in different ways

Berlin Brothersvalley's head coach Dante Paul employs a family-oriented philosophy in his second year leading the football program, which his father Doug established as a regional force. The Mountaineers, comprised of the Janidlo triplets, have been pivotal since their senior year. Coach Paul highlights their distinct personalities, noting their individual contributions have bolstered the team's success.

In a recent game against Tussey Mountain, the Mountaineers bounced back from their first loss of the season, defeating the Mustangs 45-14. Brady Janidlo, the starting quarterback, completed 5 of 10 passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns, while Carson Janidlo, the receiver, caught three of Brady's passes, totaling 71 yards and a touchdown.

Ryan Janidlo, the tight end/defensive end, notched a 19-yard touchdown catch, contributing to the team's 11 receptions for 199 yards and three touchdowns on offense, and 32 tackles, including four sacks and four sacks on defense.

When asked about their personalities, Coach Paul observed that Brady is an outgoing leader who communicates well, Ryan is a quiet, dependable player who consistently delivers strong performances, and Carson mirrors Ryan's work ethic and step-up ability when the team needs big plays. The Mountaineers face Windber in their next challenge, a matchup against a team ranked third in the District 5-1A with a 5-3 overall record.

Windber has a 27-18 lead in their series against Berlin Brothersvalley since 1985. Coach Paul remains confident, stating that regaining composure after a tough loss was crucial to their energizing performance in the subsequent game.
