CHERRY TWP — It’s hard to find a football player more all-purpose than Moniteau’s Kyle Armagost.

“Slash” doesn’t even begin to describe what the Warriors’ senior quarterback and, well, everything else did this season.

Armagost passed for a school single-season record 2,168 yards and 25 touchdowns. He also rushed for 1,301 yards and 20 scores.

In limited action on defense because of a knee injury, he still recorded 107 tackles.

On special teams, he averaged 41.8 yards per punt and also booted 14 extra points.

“Kyle is probably one of the best players, best athletes I’ve ever been associated with on the high school football field,” said Moniteau coach Jeff Campbell. “He carried the team in so many ways.”

The Associated Press thought the same thing, placing Armagost on its Pennsylvania Class AA All-State team at, what else, the specialist position.

Armagost was simply special this season for the Warriors.

“Being it came in an all-purpose position, it meant a lot to me,” Armagost said. “I try to help the team as much as I can, either passing the ball or running with it.”

Perhaps the statistic Armagost is most proud of is 12-1 — the team’s record this season.

Behind Armagost, Moniteau finished the regular season 9-0, won its first District 9 title in school history and won a state playoff game against Oliver before falling to Aliquippa.

“Looking back at it, it’s kind of sweet,” Armagost said. “I thought we were going to be 5-5 or 4-5 — I didn’t think we would be that good. I didn’t know what the younger guys were going to bring. They definitely brought it. It was definitely nice having a season like that.”

Armagost said the first thing he did after he learned he made the all-state team was find his teammates and thank them for making it possible.

“I thanked all the linemen, the receivers, everyone,” Armagost said. “I’m thankful for them.”

Armagost’s season was nearly cut short in Week 2 when his leg was hit while punting late in a win against Clarion.

He suffered a sprained MCL and a bone bruise.

The next week against Brookville, he started at quarterback and threw for 392 yards and three touchdowns in a comeback 43-21 victory.

Armagost didn’t have one rushing attempt because of the knee injury.

“He was patient, something he wasn’t before,” Campbell said. “Kyle would make a first look, second look and then pull the ball down and run. But I told him if he runs with the ball, I’m pulling him out. He could always throw the ball, he just never was quite that patient until that game.”

That newfound patience allowed Armagost to be even more dangerous.

Once his balky knee started to heal, he was back to his dashing ways.

He had five games in which he both passed and rushed for more than 100 yards. In three games, he had 200 yards passing and 100 yards rushing.

With gaudy numbers like that, there is no mystery why Armagost is drawing plenty of attention from college football programs.

On a nightly basis, he receives phone calls and emails.

Most are from Division II and III schools.

“It’s kind of overwhelming sometimes,” Armagost said. “I get home at 9 o’clock and I have to send out a bunch of emails.”

Stetson University in Central Florida is one Division I school that is interested in Armagost.

To Armagost, Stetson fits.

“I want to go down south,” he said. “I already went down there and visited. I applied there and was accepted. We’ll see.”

Armagost, who wants to be a sports broadcaster, is leaving his options open at this point.

“Whatever school is best for me to be a broadcaster is where I want to go,” Armagost said. “School is first. Football is second.”
