Greater Allegheny was the right place for George Prota

Growing up, sports were a part of daily life in the Prota household. Sundays were dedicated to football and it was a time where the family came together and enjoyed each other’s company while cheering on their favorite teams.
It was these moments that instilled a love of sports into Penn State Greater Allegheny men’s basketball player George Prota.
An Elizabeth Forward graduate, Prota was young when he knew he wanted to be involved in athletics. The first sport in season when he showed interest was basketball.
“My dad introduced me to basketball at a pretty young age,” said Prota. “He just took me to tryout and said ‘you’re playing sports.’ I just fell in love from the start.”
