This fall, Pietro Bonandi has stepped up with poise and purpose for Greater Latrobe Boys Soccer. In a physical road test at Belle Vernon, he recorded his first varsity goal—a composed finish that helped close out a hard-fought win. He’s also been part of the late-game belief that defined the Penn-Trafford result, a match remembered for its last-minute winner and team-wide resilience.

- Game that stands out: “The Penn-Trafford game — with the last-minute winner.”
- Go-to pump-up: “Anything by Kanye West or Kid Cudi.”
- Favorite subject: “I’ve really been enjoying History this year.”
- What this year taught me: “Hard work beats talent every time.”
- Advice for younger players: “Enjoy playing with your friends and teammates—and don’t take any of it for granted.”
Season Moments
Belle Vernon (Road Win): Late in a physical match, Pietro stayed calm at the top of the box and delivered a lifted finish for his first varsity goal—an exclamation mark on the result.
Penn-Trafford: A signature program win decided at the wire. The Wildcats’ late-game concentration and work rate made the difference.
Why Pietro Stands Out
Pietro’s game blends work rate with composure. He presses intelligently, links play, and looks for the right moment in the final third. That “hard work first” mindset shows up in training and under pressure—precisely what wins close matches.
