Pete is a 1972 graduate of Talawanda High School. He participated in baseball and football, and also two years in track. As an outstanding football player and team leader, Pete was selected as team captain. His accomplishments include, All-Star Team selectee and All League selectee. He also holds records for the longest interception, and is one of the top ten yardage rushers in Talawanda football history.

Pete was a stand-out in both track and baseball, and he has the distinction of being the last player to compete in both sports at the same time on the same day.

He was selected first team Mid-Miami League, All League Player, and also received the league Most Valuable Player award. During his participation in track, Pete established records at Talawanda in the 100 and 200 yard dash, and went on to become a district champion in those events.
