Oh no. Sad to hear about the passing of Screech from Saved by the Bell.
“SBTB” was hands down one of the best shows of my generation.
RIP Dustin Diamond
Last one to leave the field tonight. It’s a surreal feeling experiencing the stillness and quiet after the last game of the season. The average person can’t comprehend the amount of hours that go into each and every season. 1/2
Tonight I will coach in honor and memory of my father in law F.B.I. Special Agent, Leonard W. Hatton, Jr.
He tragically passed away while heroically saving many lives on 9/11/01.
A hero to his family in life and a hero to a nation in death. You will never be forgotten.🇺🇸🙏🏻
11.29...A day that will live in the hearts of all HILLBILLIES for generations to come.
This community is special! Thank you for supporting us all year and showing the team how beloved they are. 🙏🏻
So odd and comical to see coaches take the spotlight away from their players on social media and make it about them.
It’s about the kids. We had our time. Highlight the players. Stay humble.

The Hillbillies are perfect! Frank Riggio scores 5 times at MetLife and reaches 2,000 rushing yds. Verona blanks Lyndhurst 41-0 to win the North Group 2 title. Watch all the highlights and interviews 🏈👉

I’ve been away from a WWE ring for over 10 years and flown completely under the radar so it’s pretty cool to catch up with the WWE Champ & share the history of his heritage.🇬🇭
Kofi Kingston is such a great person and a positive role model for alI. I couldn’t be prouder of him!

I know how hard it is coming to the realization your high school playing days are over. Keep your heads held high fellas!
The moments never fade if you keep them in your heart. ♥️ 🏈
This is what it’s all about. When people ask why I stopped wrestling & pursuing my boyhood dream of performing on📺for the WWE…All I have to do is show them this photo.
It’s an honor to be a Coach & I do not take the responsibility lightly. As long as I live these are my kids.

about Ulysses S. Grant! Did you know Grant’s birth name was Hiram? Ulysses was his middle name. The S came from a mistake from his appointment to West Point!🇺🇸
Pete Jordan is the father of one of our Verona football players and he donated 1 of his kidneys on NYE to a dear friend in need. My wife is also an organ donor so I understand the sacrifice. I am honored to know Mr. Jordan as he is the definition of a real life hero.
God bless.
Tomorrow marks the 30th Anniversary of WWE Monday Night RAW!
So grateful I was able to live out a dream and be apart of this phenomenon. To all my fellow brothers that are a part of this exclusive fraternity that can say they wrestled in a WWE ring...Cheers!🥂 Here’s to 30 more!

HUGE WIN for VERONA vs. a very good ( previously undefeated) Morris Catholic team!! Nothing better than celebrating with your mentor, former players, fellow line coach and your blue chip QB.
On to Caldwell!
Thanks
@PatLanniHS
! These young men are such a special group. An absolute honor to be a part of this coaching staff & the opportunity to be around such outstanding high character football players! They will all go far in life with the work ethic & heart they showed this season.

Pretty amazing just how good this Verona defense was down the stretch. Hillbillies gave up just 124 yards in two CHAMPIONSHIP games!
That's 15.5 yards per quarter!

Today is the most important day of your life.
Win today.

Only 93 NJ scholastic football players have been selected as 2020 Mini Max High School Award winners by the Maxwell Football Club.
Players were nominated & evaluated based on football performance, academic performance and community service.
Note to student athletes:
Some are disappointed as State/District play is over. Maybe your team didn’t make the playoffs or win the championship. Maybe you’ve played your last game ever. Just remember-failure is an event, not a person. Losing doesn’t define you - character does.
The snow always brings me back home to my youth and positive feelings rush over me.
As we rush around during our busy lives I implore you to take a moment and be grateful for all the good in your life.
LIFE is an AMAZING experience.
Enjoy every minute of it.
You are loved.
