Proud of you son!

[Antonio Gatica @ToneGatica]

I am extremely proud of the achievements I've earned throughout my high school journey. It's an honor to receive both academic awards and the
Scholar Athlete recognition. Over the past few months, I've been grateful to be acknowledged for my work in the classroom as well as in athletics.

These awards represent more than accomplishments-they are reminders of the dedication, effort, and commitment I've put into my studies and into competing on the field, mat, and diamond over the last four years. I am truly thankful for the teachers who invested in me, the coaches who pushed me to grow, and my family who supported and guided me every step of the way.

Great job kid💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[Antonio Gatica @ToneGatica]

I'm honored to hold the school tackle record. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without my brothers on the field and the coaches who pushed us every step of the way.

Like all records, it's meant to be broken. I hope this sets a goal for the next generation to chase-and hopefully they're wearing #10 when they do.
Panther Pride!

Well it’s an emotional moment to day yesterday was my last day I put on a varsity high school football jersey on after a long 4 years it has came to an end & I wouldn’t trade the moment or the fun I had over the last 4 years and I’m blessed to be apart of this program & I forever be grateful for the community of Mt Morris. With the being 10 is signing off🫡

[Coach Jordan Harris @BigSkippin_75]

2026 Recruits, listen up and listen good, if you do not have P5/G5 offers for whatever reason, it’s not the end of the world. If you are getting D2, JUCO type offers(where good football is still played), I would advise you to take them and grind and work to get to where you to go. Stop worrying about who’s gonna laugh at you, who’s writing you off, just go out there and handle your business. Turning down a free education and a scholarship is LAME AF, you can still make your dream come true from those type of schools, don’t believe me, let’s ask
Matthew Judon(D2)
Aaron Rodgers(started at JUCO)
Josh Allen(Started at JUCO)
Quinn Meirerz(D3)
Tyreek Hill(JUCO and D2)
Trinidad Chambliss(D2, starts at Ole Miss)
Kenny Moore(D2)
Charvarius Ward(Started at JUCO)
Stetson Bennett(Walk on, went JUCO)
Byron Young(Walked on at a JUCO)
Alvin Kamars(Went JUCO)
Lavonte David(Started at JUCO)
And the list goes on, all you have to do is work. If they can do it, so can you.
