Twins fit bill for the Eagles

When St. Edward's Mark Dvoroznak was selected to The Plain Dealer's seven-county All-Star baseball team last spring, one of the first things he did was ask if his twin brother, John, could be mentioned in the write-up.
He referred to his brother as "an inspiration to my athletic career."

Five months later, the Dvoroznaks are an inspiration to one another as two mainstays on the Eagles' undefeated football team.

Saturday at 1 p.m., the brothers will share a special experience when they help lead top-seeded St. Edward (10-0) against Brush (8-3) in a Division I, Region 1 semifinal playoff game at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

In helping the Eagles to their 13th trip to Ohio High School Athletic Association playoffs, the Dvoroznaks have displayed their skills on both sides of the ball, and on special teams.

John, a 6-4, 220-pound defensive end/tight end, is described by Eagles coaches as "probably the most talented athlete on defense."

During a nine-game regular season, John Dvoroznak racked up 10 sacks and 22 quarterback hurries, and did an exceptional job running ball carriers down. He also had six receptions for 99 yards and two touchdowns.

After a spring season that saw him bat .500 and play a solid right field on St. Edward's Division I regional finalist baseball team, the 6-2, 185-pound Mark Dvoroznak is making his mark as a defensive back, wideout and kick returner.

In the regular season, Mark Dvoroznak made 21 solo tackles, assisted on nine others, intercepted three passes, recovered a fumble and had two pass break-ups. He added 10 receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown.
Certainly a fall to recall for the senior co-captains.
