Tevon Weber and his grade school buddies probably couldn’t see into the future, but they had a decent gauge on what they could do on the football field back in their Salisbury Youth Association days.

That group envisioned what it could be like once their senior seasons rolled around. They may have even trumped any expectations they set for themselves back before they were teenagers and stepped on a high school field.

“We were beating our own age group,” Weber said about his SYA playing days. “We were like, ‘Yeah, our senior year we will be playing kids we’ve been playing our whole lives, so it’s going to be a good year.’ We just stuck with it.”

Weber, who was named the Salisbury Press Male Athlete of the Year for the 2015-16 school year, helped lead the Falcons to one of their best seasons in program history this past fall. The Falcons finished the Colonial League regular season at 7-3, their most wins since the 2001 season, and qualified for the district tournament for the first time since 2009.

Salisbury eventually fell to Northwestern in the district semifinals, but history had already been made for the boys in blue and white.

“We kind of grew up knowing that this was Salisbury’s one team that could maybe make a change,” Weber said. “I kind of grew up with a bunch of kids that had the same mentality that we were going to win. It was awesome to finally do it one year. I really wanted to achieve more, but we did the best we could. We gave it all we had.”

A few names from that group include Mason Donaldson, Alex Kubinec, Kyle Hartzell, Shane Wittman, Alex Nicholas and Brett Sontagg. But it was the entire group of Falcons that made 2015 a memorable season that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Countless memories stand out from the fall, including an unforgettable comeback victory against rival Southern Lehigh to retain the iconic helmet that is awarded between the two schools each season.

“The Southern Lehigh game was definitely one of the most memorable moments by far after getting the helmet back,” Weber said. “We wanted that our whole lives. It was really awesome that we accomplished it.”

On an individual level, Weber accounted for 1,554 yards and 28 passing touchdowns, which set a new school record for single season touchdowns. He also holds the career passing touchdown record with 53 scores.

“I wanted to set some records of my own this year with javelin and some of the quarterback records, and hopefully bring a Colonial League championship to the basketball team,” Weber said. “That was my goal going in, and I feel like this year I did a good job of achieving my goals with everybody else that helped me out. It was a good year.”

In his second year on the hardwood, Weber (the Falcons’ second-leading scorer with 10.9 points per game) played a major role in leading Salisbury (15-2 league record) to another conference title game appearance. For the second straight season, however, Bangor got the best of the Falcons in the championship game.

“Basketball was very fun and I had a lot of fun doing it,” Weber said. “Having a good team these past two or three years was a fun ride … It kind of stunk losing the championship and that was kind of hard, but then we had states and did well.”

This past season was the second time that Weber and the Falcons qualified for the state tournament during his career. Weber, who finished with 576 career points, was a major contributor in seeing that goal come to fruition. He led the team in rebounds (11.1 per game), assists (100), steals (1.9 per game) and blocks (1.5 per game).

“He was the focus of our defense in terms of being able to rebound the basketball defensively, and then also getting stops for us,” head coach Jason Weaver said. “Obviously there were games where he got hot scoring-wise for us as well. To average a double-double for the season in high school is really impressive.”

His third year participating in track and field brought even more records his way. After winning districts in the javelin as a junior, Weber added a school record to his name in 2016 with a throw of 185 feet.

Regardless of the sport, whether it was slinging passes up the sideline to his favorite wideout in Donaldson, anchoring the Falcons’ defense on the hardwood, or launching a javelin, Weber’s sense of humor never left his side.

“He just has fun playing sports, and I think that’s important,” Weaver said. “I don’t think he takes anything too seriously, but when it comes time for game time he is ready to go. That’s what I appreciate with him. He makes us laugh from time to time. He makes us think that this isn’t life or death, but when it comes time for the game to start he was as intense as anybody.”

In a matter of weeks, Weber will report to East Stroudsburg University and begin the next phase of his football career. Ever since he was a kid he had visions of playing at the collegiate level, and now he’s on the cusp of getting that journey underway.

“I’m ready to go up there and fight for a starting spot and make an impact on that team,” Weber said. “Hopefully bring some wins to the Warriors. I’m looking forward to it.”
