- It's in the genes: Doug was not the only Buffone to excel at the game of football, as his first cousin-once removed, Tim Buffone (also a Shannock Valley H.S. alumnus), was a 1998-2001 standout all-star at the NCAA Division II perennial powerhouse Indiana University of Pennsylvania. To that end, he was awarded the Dan Thompson Memorial Award (Most Inspirational Player) a record three times.
