Aiden Gallen-Gov. Mifflin

Aiden Gallen is making a name for himself late in the season. The 185-pound fullback ran for 213 yards against Berks Catholic at the end of the regular season. Gallen got 25 carries in the District 3-5A semifinals vs. #4 seed Spring Grove. He piled up 164 yards and a touchdown in the 38-13 victory. The Berks Catholic transfer told me that the transition to Gov. Mifflin has been an easy one. Gallen got the (10-0) Mustangs on the board early in the second quarter on a 9-yard run. The (10-2) Rockets got within 17-13 in the third quarter, but Gallen and Nick Singleton were too much to handle. The PSU commit had 190 yards and 3TD on 20 carries. Gallen has known Singleton for a long time so he’s used to seeing him make amazing plays. Gallen said offensive line coach Nick Morrissey does an outstanding job and gets everyone fired up. Gov. Mifflin finished with 537 total yards including 436 on the ground. Starting FB Trey Rock is playing through an injury. While Rock is focusing on his linebacker position, Gallen is getting more touches. Gallen mentioned that he has a better understanding of the offense now and he’s fresh. I asked Gallen what would happen if he had to tackle Singleton. His answer was priceless! Gallen loves playing on the turf in Shillington. The top-seeded Mustangs will be back there next Friday when they meet (9-3) Exeter for the District 3-5A championship.
