There have been a number of sad reports coming out of the world of professional wrestling in recent weeks, with former stars passing away, both during their career and following it.

Greg Schiano has found his next quarterback of the future, and he’s the son of an Ivy League head coach. A 6-2, 205-pound junior with an accurate arm, timing, leadership qualities and a thickly built lower half, Notre Dame high school junior A.J.

Surace announced his commitment on Twitter on Sunday afternoon.

It is one thing playing a roster full of four-and-five star talents when your team is intact and playing at pretty much peak level.

Jen Denby thought she had left coaching behind but, like the famous line uttered by Al Pacino’s character in The Godfather: Part III, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.”. Denby’s 15-year stint as the girls basketball coach at Penns Grove ended in...
