The score is not as close as you think in the 29-21 Metro win over County in the 83rd annual Save An Eye All-Star game. @sethfuller07

July 24, 2021  |  

Last night’s game forty-three this year took me to Erie, Pa. Veterans Memorial Stadium. First, I must say that the stadium itself is a must-see place to take in a game but the street parking takes away from the overall experience. The game was very competitive when all was said and done but never in […]

Metro Outlasts County in 83rd Annual Save-an-Eye All-Star Classic @save_an_eye (gallery)

July 24, 2021  |  

Seth Fullers’ 3 touchdowns weren’t enough to erase an early deficit for County (photos Jaydyn Jenaya Photography)   The fun thing about All-Star games is that the camaraderie created between teammates is equally important as the play on the field. And clearly, the players from across the city of Erie and Erie County meshed well […]

Because the 2020 game and banquet were canceled […]

June 26, 2021  |  

  Friday, after leaving work I basically rushed to East Liverpool, Ohio to catch the All-Star game between Ohio and Pa. This marked the third time covering this one, so going in I had a pretty good feel for the rivalry attached to this one. The game itself was very entertaining with Ohio unofficially have […]

South 14 North 12 2021 Frank Varischetti All Star Game Brockway, Pa

June 26, 2021  |  

Last Night I headed to Brockway, Pa to catch the Frank Varischetti All-Star game my 42 game of 2021. Like most All-Star games the defense started off fast for both teams. There were a lot of playoff-like hits coupled with enough chippiness to keep the large loud crowd into the game right up till the […]

One game stood tall, the Frank Varischetti All Star Game.  The game was delayed several times but eventually those in charge of the game made it happen on August […]

The crowd was big and very vocal, with almost all fans being […]
