Last Friday, the Red Bud High School varsity football team traveled to Chester for a big Route 3 Rivalry game. Not only was it a thrilling game to watch, but one of Red Bud’s coaches received special recognition.
Mathew Mehring is an assistant coach for the Musketeers, and one of the team’s biggest fans. He is also a master sergeant in the Air Force, and just last week he returned from an overseas deployment that was a little over 7 months long.
He surprised the team by stopping in at practice, and Friday night’s game was the first he’s coached since returning home.
