WASHINGTON, Pa. — Former Southern Local All-Ohioan Nick Puckett has adjusted to a different role at Washington & Jefferson College. “It’s definitely different from high school,” he said. “At Southern, I was on the field every play.” Puckett, a junior running back, plays on the kickoff return team and has touched the football only 13 times all season. “It’s tough, but I enjoy playing here,” Puckett said. “It’s a good time.” Puckett and his No. 20 Presidents (9-1) will take on top-ranked Mount Union College (10-0) in the opening round of the NCAA Division III playoffs Saturday. Kickoff will be at noon at Mount Union Stadium. “A lot of teams go there and don’t know what to expect, but we are prepared for it,” Puckett said. “We scrimmaged them there this year.” Washington & Jefferson head coach Mike Sirianni was a starting receiver on Mount Union’s first NCAA Division III championship team in 1993 and an assistant coach on the Purple Raiders’ 1996 and 1997 title teams.
