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 | contributor
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 | TC Jones
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 […]
Save-an-Eye Banquet Kicks Off All-Star Festivities
July 23, 2021 | TC Jones
The annual Save-an-Eye banquet is always exciting for the athletes, coaches, organizers, guest speakers, and attendees. And at the 83rd rendition, there were even more reasons to celebrate the local Erie County and Metro student-athletes, along with the philanthropic cause put forth by the Erie Lions Club. Because the 2020 game and banquet were canceled […]

June 26, 2021 | contributor
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 […]
The South Wins the 6th Annual Frank Varischetti All-Star Game
June 26, 2021 | Phil Myers
Led by two all-state quarterbacks, a 6’5” 250-pound tight end, and a tenacious defense the South rose up in the second half to defeat the North 14-12 in a colossal battle royale. The 6th annual Frank Varischetti All-Star Game held in Brockway was one of the better all-star games anyone will see, as it had […]

The game was delayed several times but eventually those in charge of the game made it happen on August […]
