Michael Schram lives and breathes Saint Paul Patriots football.
The 17-year-old, Grade 12B student loves suiting up for the blue and white so much he’s returned to school for victory lap of sorts in order to be able to play one last season.
“This is the best place to play football, I wouldn’t want to play anywhere else,” Schram said after scoring a pair of touchdowns as the Patriots defeated the Lakeshore Catholic Gators 35-14 in a Niagara Catholic Athletic Association senior boys football game Friday afternoon at Saint Paul. “I loved football growing up all my life. I’ve been playing since Grade 11 and just love this school for football. We had a lot of guys come out during the off-season and just got better and better as a team.
