Tackling football, tuba a full-time job
Sound of success: Football and band

To Ben Buzzelli's friends and Wadsworth foot ball teammates, he's simply "Big Ben."
Appropriate, but the name goes far beyond the senior's 6-5, 285-pound frame.
Buzzelli is a three-year starter on the area's sixth-ranked and 6-0 football team. Also an accomplished wrestler, he is drawing interest as an offensive tackle from coaches at Ohio State and most Mid-American Conference schools. But it's his role as a four-year tuba player in the school's marching band that tugs at people's heart.
