New story: What’s the deal with Ainsworth Field?
No one has played there in 2024. Erie School District, however, has plans for its future.
On Ainsworth’s outlook, including an $8.6 million project which would restore the historic ballpark.

tonight: A lot of people saying that Patrick Mahomes won’t allow his team to lose back-to-back games.
My rebuttal? Neither will Josh Allen.
Bills 35, Chiefs 31

Wow, this was a special moment
Excited to finally share this with you all: Upon graduating from St. Bonaventure, I have accepted a job as a sports reporter at The Bradford Era newspaper in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
Im grateful for the opportunity to continue telling stories across the Twin Tiers!
I could write a book about the university I now call home. Maybe one day, I will.
For now, these words will suffice. Thank you,

My last post as a student reporter⤵️
Umpiring little league softball tonight I overheard one of the coaches say “I don’t care if we win or lose, we’re still going to get ice cream.” And that’s what it’s all about
Mark Schmidt was asked about the Bona fan turnout in Brooklyn this weekend.
“If you’ve never been to Olean, you need to come up,” he said. “They’re passionate, committed basketball fans.”
I graduate from SBU in less than two weeks. In this thread, I’ll share some of my favorite stories that I’ve written while here.
First, a Nov. 2020 feature on Bona MBB guard Jaren Holmes, who shared the moving story of changing his last name.
St. Bonaventure and Syracuse announced game postponements within 20 minutes of each other, and neither team plays again until the weekend...
Who says no? (Syracuse, certainly)
THREAD: Friday was my last day with The Era, as I have accepted a Sports Reporter position with the Erie Times-News (
@GoErie
). I am grateful for this opportunity to tell stories in Northwestern Pennsylvania and cannot wait to begin.
To Bradford, Olean and everywhere in between:
"The year came about and I was still English, but in my heart, I was Holmes already."
Jaren Holmes changed his last name in September to reflect his mother's. Now, he's ready to carry on his family legacy at SBU and beyond.

head coach Randy Mearns told me that his goal was to turn a jumpstart program into a national power.
After two winless seasons, Mearns won his first postseason game at SBU today. Hopefully the first of many.
Winter sports practices start today.
General McLane wanted to be first on the wrestling mats. So the Lancers practiced at midnight.

There’s Braeden Soboleski’s first collegiate touchdown!
The McDowell High School graduate puts Gannon back in front. Knights have answered all three of Hurst’s TDs with one of their own.
I was fortunate to meet Bob Lanier at St. Bonaventure’s Final Four 50th anniversary celebration in 2019. As his palms enveloped mine in a handshake, I thanked him for coming. He kindly thanked me in return.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Lanier. The greatest to ever wear a Bona uniform.
The Erie Times-News sports department is locked, loaded and ready to cover the PIAA individual wrestling championships.
Mike and I will keep you up to date from Hershey all weekend and I cannot overstate my excitement. Let’s go!
I sound like a broken record but the St. Bonaventure community continually amazes and impresses me. I couldn’t walk a block in DC this weekend without someone yelling “Go Bonas!” and the friendliness of alumni blew my mind. It’s special
Congratulations to a great journalist and friend. Mike’s work ethic is second to none at SBU, and is one that all young journalists should strive to emulate.
@BonasJSchool
