Coach Verria’s Blog

To all our supporters of Bears Football, thank you for staying involved with the program. The purpose of my blog and the site is to keep you informed of upcoming events, Bears football news, and give you a place to connect with teammates, coaches, and other supporters. Shortly we will have a search feature whereby you will be able to find former teammates or others connected to Bears football. Looking to reconnect with an old teammate or coach – you will find it here.
Thanks, Joe
