I donโt know how many high school sports fans, players, coaches and schools realize how lucky we are to have the local sports coverage we receive from our Erie Sports News channels and reporters! Thank all of you ๐๐ป

The weightroom doesnโt care if youโre rich or poor, black or white, young or old, starter or backup, gifted or not...doesnโt care if youโre having a bad day...doesnโt accept excuses. There is stability in that room. Those 45lb plates will weigh the same tomorrow as they do today
Proud of the total team effort tonight in the 28-7 win. A big shout out to the players from Hickory. A class act and tough football players. Best of luck moving forward.
Players, understand that a position change is good. If you're asked to switch your role, your coach see an opportunity to give you, a talented player buried on the depth chart, a chance to get on the field and play. Embrace this change and trust the process!
HUGE shout out to the Laker Spirt Squad, the Laker Loonies and all of the students for attending Friday's game. A Class act for the huge round of applause you gave to Hickory s Matching Band for their halftime performance.

Blesss and honored to coach the Metro team in the 85th Save An Eye football game. An amazing organization where all proceeds go to the Erie sight center to help children with vision challenges.
Breaking: Jeff Root of Mercyhurst Prep will coach the Metro and Jack Corey of Seneca will coach the County in the upcoming Save An Eye game set for Saturday July 22 at 6 pm!
@save_an_eye
tune into the Save An Eye Facebook page for the live press conference at 7 pm!
Remember the time when every high school athlete was a multi sport athlete. Sad how thatโs been ruined with the 24-7 year round push to monopolize kids in one sport.
I want to send a BIG shout out to the Fairview High School administration for thinking of our senior players and providing us tickets to the game tomorrow night. It is greatly appreciated, thank you ๐๐ป

Calling on our Mercyhurst Prep football family to create the biggest prayer chain we can. Please keep this young man, his family and the Karns City community in your thoughts & prayers ๐๐ป

Someone is going to steal this one. Versatile, great hands, and plays with a physical toughness, but most of all he loves the game.
Defensively he is a HAMMER! Physical, plays at a high level and is quick enough to play SS and big enough to play a hybrid SS or OLB
Why Mercyhurst Prep? Character, opportunity, genuine care that goes beyond football, development, love, family and competition.

Not every player will buy-in.
Not every player will reach their potential.
Not every player will do what is best for the team.
Not every player will sacrifice
Not every player is coachable
What do we do?
We keep guiding
We keep pushing
We keep leading
We keep caring
The Lakers football team captured the Corry 7on7 tournament with a 18-6 win vs Maplewood. Our linemantook 3rd, but won the Team Tug of War, and Dylan Schley won the bench press with 36 reps of 185 lbs. A BIG thank you to my coaches and parents for all of the hard work you do!
HUGE shout out to all of the schools and coaches who took the time to stop by Mercyhurst Prep and talk about our football players. Good things happening up on the hill.
Why this is the best staff in college football.... genuine care and love for their players when they have life changing events and playing the game isnโt an option.

Iโm missing football. If you are a current player, former player, coach, or friend post your favorite football picture here. Just one picture, no description. Let me see what you got. Iโll start it off.

Great Zoom Meeting tonight with the MPS football team. 33 kids checked in plus 8 coaches. Proud of the work you guys are doing during this difficult time. We Are Mercyhurst Prep strong!
My coaching staff and I are proud to have coached the Metro in the 29-15 win in the Save an Eye game. A big win for the Metro Team, but a HUGE win for the Erie City & County communities,the respective schools, the Save an Eye committee, the sight center and all those involved.
You canโt go wrong with with this young man as he is a high character player that loves football, is loyal and will work his ass off for you plus he is a high academic student as well. You will never regret this one!
Here we go!! Tomorrow at 3:00 pm begins the 2018 Mercyhurst Prep footbal journey. If you don't have your physical with you or turned inyou cannot participate. Hydrate now.... tomorrow is too late.

If HS athletes realize anything after graduation, I hope they realize that the coaches who pushed, challenged and demanded their best were also the ones who cared about them the most.
Congratulations

Exactly why Coach Franklin is the very best! He exemplifies the highest of character, his leadership, he is a role model, his love of family, his genuine care and concern for his players. The Penn State football community is fortunate to have coach Franklin. We Are....Blessed

, but we are asking Cat Nation to go vote for Dewey Byrd, of Mercyhurst Prep: he had 5 receptions for 145 yrds and 2 TDs and played a strong defensive game while playing with a heavy heart on SR Night after his father died earlier in the week.

Huge shout out to Steve Miller, special assistant to the GM of the Super Bowl Champions LA Rams for stopping by school and talking about a potential draft pick in former alumni Jesse Luketa.
This kid is a road grader. Heโs unbelievably strong, powerful and quick for 6โ3โ 335lbs. Perfect interior OL that will make a coach happy he brought him into the program.
@ETNreisenweber
The longevity, success and the ability to develop a top program should have given Coach Wells security to stay or go on his terms. Too many school boards make decisions based off of who barks the loudest. They should look at the bigger picture of the quality people they have.
