Pierce Football
The Pierce football team is looking for your help! With the largest team in the last 15 years, and a growing youth football league that feeds into Pierce, we are looking to buy more equipment to help support the growth of this program. We will be selling DoubleGood popcorn from September 12-16, so we can keep total costs down and not have to bar any students due to financial reasons.
The student-athletes are making a commitment to this program, and we ask for any help whatsoever or just sharing this to anyone that would like to help the cause! Players have been working since the first week of August Monday-Friday to try and repeat a conference championship, which was accomplished last year for the first time since 2018. We hope to make Merrillville schools and the community proud!
The link for the head coach's store can be found below, all proceeds from the store go directly to the football program:
