Coach Tirico was one of the best people I ever met coaching football. Such a great guy. RIP Coach

Not the way we wanted our baseball season to end, but could not be more proud of the 2024 HHS Bears. This team gave all they had today but just came up short. Great mix of seniors and underclassmen was fun to coach!! Seniors, there are no words for how I feel about you guys!!

It doesn’t matter how good you were in high school. In college, everyone is good, so you must work even harder than before!

After 23 years as the head football coach at HHS, I have decided this past year will be my last year. It has been an honor and a privilege to have been able to lead my alma mater all of these years. I will look back at these years as one of the greatest joys of my life.

Hawthorne HS football will always be a part of who I am, and I hope to be involved in some capacity in the future, even if it is just cheering the team on from the sidelines. I would like to thank you all for your support over the years. Go Bears! John Passero

Bo Nix ended his presser with a monologue about his career. "I'm gonna miss college football. It was my goal my entire life to be a college QB and to win a national championship... Just a lot of emotions. A lot going on that man you wish you could change... I'm going to be okay. We're all going to be okay. We're going to get up tomorrow and go back to work and see what life provides in the future."
