you're on your way to success, There is no 'settling'. There is VERY GOOD football in D3!
It is with a truly heavy heart & deep sadness that we have learned of the passing of our friend, Bill Fralic. He will be remembered as greatest o-lineman, ever, and as a true gentleman. He was our friend, our teammate, our brother.

He did this. And more. At the start of this season, Bull bought the team new coaches headsets at over $10k. He was always asking what we needed &willing to provide it, gladly & joyfully. We take solace in knowing he was able to watch his beloved Indians win states last Friday.

Hey

, your Indians are in the

A D1 coach contacted us about one of our players. The questions asked, in order, were:
1. How are his grades?
2. How is his work ethic?
3. Is he a kid of good character?
4. Does he play multiple sports?
#pennhillspride

The number of former players who came to support us tonight, including the number who actually flew in to attend, was overwhelming and humbling. We are proud to have made your trip worthwhile. Thank you for being the best alumni anywhere!

Our thoughts and prayers to the family of Henry Gonsowski. Mr G touched so many of our lives and in the most positive of ways. There will alway be an emptiness without him. The Penn Hills family is truly saddened and will miss Mr G incredibly. Rest In Peace, Henry

While you keep trying to call those couple of coaches at those BIG schools who just aren't interested, keep in mind there are 758 college football teams from D1 to NAIA plus another 126 at two years schools. Find the school that's the RIGHT FIT for you! Bigger isn't always better

@AaronDonald97
will always be talked about as the incredibly talented, game changing player he is. More than that, no conversation can ever exclude the kind, generous, selfless, family man he is. Aaron is in that small cadre of athletes which transcend the game.

With 4 touchdowns and 3 INTs, Daequan Hardy put on one of the most impressive individual performances in PIAA championship history.
He led Penn Hills to a 36-31 victory against Manheim Central tonight.

So
@PRRamsFootball
lost to an all star AAU team? I’ll give the Rams credit for agreeing to play that so-called high school team. You oftentimes learn much more from a game like that than playing a cupcake.
