Mount Union, Pa. — Striker and center back Jamon Ranck puts himself in the Huntingdon County soccer record book.
Sept. 28, 2026, marked a special date in MUAHS senior Jamon Ranck’s soccer career. Ranck became the all-time leading goal scorer in Huntingdon County, scoring his 55th career goal for Mount Union “It means a lot to me,” Ranck said. “Even though soccer isn’t my primary sport, it is still a big accomplishment.”
Ranck found out he had broken the record the night of the game. “I didn’t know I broke it. I thought I was behind,” he remarked. “It was a great feeling and a relief finding out that I broke it.”
Throughout his soccer career, Ranck has come to value his teammates, the way they play together, the experience he has gained, and the beauty of the game. He thanked his coaches for supporting him and helping him feel confident in himself. He also thanked his teammates for “keeping it fun and making it feel competitive.”
“A lot of people have supported me — everyone on the team, my coaches, parents, family, pretty much everybody in my life,” Ranck said.
Ranck is currently sitting at 59 career goals and is hoping to rack up more. The Trojans have district playoffs coming up and will play at Westmont Hilltop High School on Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 6 p.m.
As he looks ahead, Ranck has one piece of advice to give. “Trust the process. Don’t expect results straight away. Believe in your team and yourself, and always trust in the Lord,” he said.
