PICTURE OF
THE WEEK
Local athletes learn from one of the best: Erie native and
Cathedral Prep graduate Bob Sanders (center) recently held a two-day
football camp for local youth. Sanders, now a member of the Indianapolis
Colts, held the camp at Gannon University Field. It was offered to
participants for free and was attended by
more than 550 youth from the area.
