1. Most memorable Amherst Football moment.
beating Wesleyan in 4OT 16-14. It was definitely the craziest game I’ve been a part of – being down 14 going into the second half and pulling out the win is something I’ll never forget and always cherish.

The community and brotherhood. I consider these guys my second family and will miss them dearly.

1. Most memorable Amherst Football moment.
Beating Wesleyan (aka the “Mud Bowl”) during the 2021 season and dancing on their home field logo. We were down 14 points at halftime but managed to beat them in overtime for the rivalry win. It was sweet to get some redemption against them after they had beat us in OT on Pratt field the previous season.
2. What you will miss most about Amherst Football?
The guys on the team. I’ve been so fortunate to meet some of my closest friends and develop relationships with such amazing young men. I am forever grateful for the countless memories I’ve made with them both on and off the field.
3. What you will miss least about Amherst Football?
I will definitely not miss Val food. Coming from an Italian family, food has always been the foundation of my family. Needless to say, Val has not met my culinary expectations.
4. Where will you be starting your career after graduation?
I will be starting my career in Saint Louis, Missouri.
5. What will you be doing at your job?
I will be working as a private equity analyst at a small firm called Sage Capital.

We are the Amherst Football Parents Association
What We Do
Operated by the parents of the team captains each year, the AFPA manages, organizes and provides post-game meals for the team, professional photography and videography, communications, access to Mammoth Gear for our families. We do this through the generous donations provided by all of the parents of our program. Without your donations, we cannot provide the services listed above to our players and their families and therefore we ask for a $500.00 donation for each player in the program. Your donation can be given above by clicking on Please Donate. We are able to receive your donations via Venmo or Credit Card. Venmo is preferred as we have to add the transaction fees to the credit card donations. We appreciate your support!
How We Operate
The AFPA is a fully incorporated, non-profit, 501c7 club run by volunteer parents in support of Amherst Football players. We utilize TeamSnap to communicate with our parents. That includes a complete team roster with contact info for all parents, weekly sign-up’s for tailgate support including food, drinks, tents, etc., weekly tailgate updates, team event news and other random communications. We encourage families to attend all tailgates and more importantly get involved by helping out, hanging out and most importantly cheering for our team at the games!
Cannot Make It To The Game?
Please visit our Media section above. You will find access to the live stream of each game there. In addition, you have access to the photography and highlight videos of each game which are posted weekly for you to peruse and download.
