One year Anniversary of Dad’s passing. Since Covid he never missed a game of mine or Scott’s and if we were both playing he had two computers going. I still enjoy every story new and old!
Great scrimmage today with CD East and Head Coach Ryan Hill! Ryan is a former PA Maryland camper! Ryan is also a former 5th grade student! Both teams got after it today!!
I was very blessed and honored to receive the First Annual William “Bill” Gaffey Legendary Coach Award at the Mr. and Ms. PA Basketball Award Ceremony yesterday!
Appreciation post for the best Coach in the Mid Penn‼️Thank you for everything you’ve done for this program Coach Gaffey. We accomplished so much this year and we couldn’t have done it without you. Can’t wait for next year‼️

I’m celebrating my 32nd Wedding Anniversary today! I have an amazing wife that has endured coaching for 32 years at the HS and College levels! That takes a special person! Happy Anniversary Stephanie!
PSU safety Mehki Flowers stopped by to talk Tampa 2 coverage at school! I also told him to tell Manny Diaz to keep taking early timeouts.

33 years today! Being the wife of a coach that long is not easy. Happy Anniversary Stephanie, there is no practice scheduled today!! Here’s to 33 more years!
Very heartwarming night at Mechanicsburg to have the old PSU Harrisburg back to back conference champs gang back together again! Thank you so much for supporting our Wildcats!!

Thankful for the opportunity to celebrate with the Palmyra 96 team and clinch the Conference title with the Mechanicsburg 24 team in the same gym Friday!
Great job by all the Wildcat teams this weekend grades 7-12! The 10th grade won the Championship today and the 9th grade made it to the finals today vs Bishop McDevitt 55-53 in a great fast paced game!
Great to see two local friends/legends last night in our game for first place! Dr. Andy Panko the best golfer in the area and his son Andy Panko a D-3 All American and MVP of the professional Spanish ACB League!

I had the chance to speak at Ephrata HS yesterday on defense. It’s easy to see how they had 4 different quarters this year where the opponent went scoreless! Their players were locked in yesterday! The Mounts have something special brewing!
I am so proud of these 25 young men for their hard work at camp! Many of them attended the extra sessions after lunch and dinner all week! Great job guys!!

Great to see Tori back on the stage again last night! The next two weekends at Hershey Playhouse will be awesome! Anyone who needs ticket information…let me know!
Just got home from the Mechanicsburg Musical “Mamma Mia” and there was some serious talent on stage! I’m requesting them to sing the Dancing Queen at halftime this Friday!!!
Week 3 at Spooky Nook and the Father vs Son match up goes to the son as Ephrata and Scott Gaffey defeated Mechanicsburg! Both teams played a hard physical game! Congrats to Ephrata and their players and staff! Hopefully both Mechanicsburg and Ephrata have much success this year!
Big week for Mechanicsburg Basketball! The team went 3-0 this week against CD East, Gettysburg and Camp Hill. I thought we played hard, smart and together!

Great day of hoops at Spooky Nook yesterday with Varsity and JV playing 3 games…Varsity went 2-1 with only loss to Strath Haven 37-36. I liked the intensity!

Members of the PA East All stars were 115-111 winners in the 6pm All Star Game at Steel High! Fun high scoring game!
This guy started out as a 5th grade camper and now he’s serving as the Asst. Director at PA/Maryland Camp! He’s now the Head Coach at Littlestown High School. It was great to have him help coach our Mechanicsburg guys this week!
@CoachGaffey
Spencer Nolan represented the Mechanicsburg Wildcats in the Mid State Roundball All Star Games at Steel High as the Central PA All Stars lost to the state of Pennsylvania 103-93.
Thx to the Coach Scott Gaffey and the Ephrata Mounts for sharing a set play we used last night! It’s nice to have a quality resource in the same family in addition to HOF Coach Bill Gaffey Senior!

Ran into 2 District 3 Gold Medalists from my years at Bishop McDevitt! Alex Marsico 2016 and Ben Marsico 2019! It’s only fitting that Mechanicsburg plays McDevitt in the final 4 of JV Summer League!
Great night of basketball at the Fab 50: Mechanicsburg had 3 teams that played at Spooky Nook last night. The Varsity team went 3-0 on the night and all 3 teams played hard, smart and together!
