One of the reasons I believe Cedar Creek has a good shot at a state championship are the seniors returning on defense in 2024. With a ton of experience under his belt, Mandel Pettiford Mandel Pettiford 6'1" | 265 lbs | DL Cedar Creek | 2025 State NJ is leading the charge for Cedar Creek’s defensive front. Mandel is a physically demanding defender lining up interiorly for the Pirates. Equipped with upper body strength and a low approach towards blockers, Mandel specializes in bull rushing the pocket and collapsing it from within. Not only does he have the strength to impose his will on linemen, but he has the finesse, quickness, and hand technique to get past blockers with speed. This showed last season as he was able to sack the QB 7 times. A rock in the middle of the field, good luck trying to shake Mandel from his position in the middle. He does not get moved often, and with that can swallow up any run heading his direction. Mandel is extremely skilled in both the pass rush game and in run defense, and any team would be lucky to have him on their roster.
