Both the New York and Pennsylvania rosters for the Big 30 Charities Classic, set to take place on Aug. 2 at Bradford High School’s Parkway Field, are getting an extra boost with the addition of one player each.
Joining the Empire State’s roster is Randolph’s Domanik Clark. At 5-8, 160 lbs., he is set to line up at either wide receiver on the offensive side of things or at safety on defense.
Clark is planning to attend Alfred University in the fall where he will major in criminal justice and continue playing football. After he graduates, he plans to attend the New York State Trooper Academy. In football, he was named to the 2023 CCAA second-team, and in 2024 he was a first-team all-star. In 2025, he was named a Big 30 All-Star.
According to a press release, Clark noted, “he wants to play in the Big 30 game because it has become a tradition in his family. His father and brother both played in the event and talked about what a great experience it was for them.”
Joining Pennsylvania’s roster for the big game will be Coudersport’s Danny VanVladricken. At 5-10, 140 lbs., he will line up as either a wide receiver or outside linebacker.
VanVladricken is planning to attend college at Indiana University of Pennsylvania to become a gym and health teacher. He has received many football awards, including the MVP award for the 2024 season. According to a press release, “he wants to play in the Big 30 Charities Classic because he wants to catch the football one last time and have it truly mean something, maybe a touchdown for the win.”
