A.Q. Shipley was A-plus as an athlete at Moon. So impressive was he as an eighth-grader, that the varsity coaches started him at center as a freshman. A standout lineman, he was a Post-Gazette Fabulous 22 pick and all-state. But he also was a starter on Moon’s 2004 basketball team that won WPIAL and PIAA titles. Shipley went on to have an outstanding career as a lineman at Penn State, where he won the 2008 Rimington Award, given annually to the best center in college football. Drafted by the Steelers, Shipley has played center in the NFL for the Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals. He started every game for the Cardinals this past season and today, AQ is the anchor of the Cards’ offensive line.
