ND's Molnar praises PA football - Sports - Citizens Voice

"I wasn't at Notre Dame 15 or 20 years ago, but there is not a high school in American that I have stepped foot in with the ND on my shirt that I have not been well received by the principal, head football coach or student athlete," Molnar said. "I think everyone is excited to be recruited by Notre Dame. There is a multitude of reasons that Notre Dame has not been in the upper echelon of college football in the last decade. The ability to recruit is not one of them."

I love our coaching staff.

NEPA baby, my home.

I love our coaching staff.

I second that. Nice quote by Molnar. ND surely has a class act coaching staff.

PA has great talent. As a former "Coal Region" athlete I have to say NEPA is very underrated due to the hard nosed style that is played there. The flashiness isn't there, but the players are hard nosed, disciplined, and well coached. They are certainly players that can fit the mold for coach Kelly.

Hmmm Frackville, I'm from Scranton.

Can't believe dudes on here know frackville. Good old 61 North. My mom is 100% irish catholic from scranton and we still hit up the family reunion there every summer

 

[mgriff]

There's quite a few people from NEPA, it's an Irish Catholic hotbed, so it makes sense. There are a few people from Scranton proper, and I've seen other from somewhere in PA.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I'm from Scranton too.

 

[mgriff]

More accurately, I'm from West Side.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

West is best.

Hello neighbors. Grew up in Tamaqua. Now live just north of hazleton.

Gownd. What hs and year did you graduate. I'm assuming north schuylkill

 

[GowerND11]

I was actually part of the last class of Cardinal Brennan ('07), and my senior year we dropped the football program, so I had to play in the co-op with Shenandoah that year. Won districts.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Crazy. I'm an '04 grad of Reading Central Catholic. That school is closing this year to merge with Reading Holy Name to form Berks Catholic.

 

[GowerND11]

I saw it was. I'll tell you the Allentown Diocese is something else. Churches closing left and right, schools too.
