His name may be one of the hardest in South Jersey to spell, but the impact he had while at Washington Township High was easy to see. Dzierzgowski was one of the toughest QBs and safeties around in football, and in baseball he helped lead a Minutemen team that made it to the Diamond Classic quarterfinals and sectional semis. He hit .325 with 19 RBIs and 21 stolen bases, and for his career he hit .323 with 51 hits, 47 runs and 39 RBIs.
In football, he helped lead Township to one of its most successful seasons ever, as the Minutemen went 9-3 and made it to the Central Jersey Group 5 championship game. He had more than 1,000 yards passing and rushing combined, and on defense he finished with 56 tackles and four interceptions.
