I am Humbled to be selected as Philadelphia Catholic League “Coach of the Year.” I will also say that any individual award bestowed upon our program, originated from the hard work and dedication of our PLAYERS, COACHES & PARENTS! A Coach is nothing without those around them.

We just want to reach out and let everyone know we feel the love. The support for our family and the love our precious baby has received is truly amazing. She was so precious and so beautiful. Our little baby is gone. We will never be the same. 💔

Terribly saddened to hear the news that a member of Our Roman Catholic Football family has been taken away from us. We sat and spoke for nearly an hour only a week ago. Such a great personality, and so much more to offer the world. We are praying for your family Makai… 💜💛

My Decision to join the military was made on this day, 19 years ago, as we watched the news from our dorm rooms at East Stroudsburg. RIP to those lives lost. #NeverForget911 🇺🇸

This is for our alumni, this is for all the Roman Catholic teams that didn’t get the opportunity to play in playoffs, most importantly this is for us. We’re going to the State Championship for the first time in school history. 💜💛 #LLA💕

This is ridiculous. He should be able to play. That is not ejection worthy. @PIAASports needs to overturn this.
This Saturday one of the best players in the state - Shawn Battle - won’t play in the 3-A @PIAASports title game because of a punch. He got tossed and is ineligible. He reacted after being grabbed where no man should be. Do you see a punch?

Signing day tomorrow and can’t help to think about all the kids who are getting screwed over, mostly because of Covid. Sad that college kids get an extra year and HS kids get a shoulder shrug.

As good as it feels to make an effort towards a season, I really feel bad that so many student athletes won’t get the opportunity. Football changes lives, it’s bigger than a game. Us @_RomanFootball are thinking of you! Any help I can provide you coaches and players, just ask!.

This is a good thing! bc a lot of schools, are only bringing in 8-10 HS kids a year with this transfer portal. Some only 5 per year. Combine these photo shoots with fake offers and it provides a false and elevated sense of recruitment.

Gun violence is out of control and it’s the children who are losing their lives. Today was a terrible day, watching some of our players grieve the loss of a friend. This is happening daily across the city Mayor Kenney, How is this not grounds for a state of emergency declaration?.

I don’t hire coaches, I hire mentors. If all you bring to the table is football, this isn’t the place for you. Football is the easy part! Blessed to have the staff we do at Roman Catholic. 💜.

If you feel like your slept on, or don’t get enough exposure, just know that it matters what high school you go to, and who your coaches are. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

@coachkage The flip side is college coaches being lazy and not evaluating. And missing out on kids that are a great fit at your level. Then not hearing back from the coach at all, and having to block them from recruiting your school.

Why are colleges still holding camps if all their kids they recruit are in the portal? They gonna take that camp $ and use it for NIL. And I’m speaking about the schools that live in the portal. If they don’t take HS kids, do not fund them.
HS coaches - might be time to STOP doing team camps. I.e. 7v7/big man camps etc. at these colleges. If the school is just gonna take portal guys…. JMT.
