OLYPHANT, PA — With the 2025 high school football season quickly approaching, excitement filled the Regal Room in Olyphant as the Lackawanna Football Conference held its annual Media Day.
The event brought together teams from across the region along with representatives from local media outlets including NPF Football, The Scranton Times, Eastern PA News, local TV stations, and more. It was a day to connect, preview the season ahead, and highlight the student-athletes and coaches preparing for kickoff.

SportzWire’s Justin and Doug spent time with many of the teams, capturing interviews that mixed football talk with a bit of fun. The conversations were relaxed and upbeat—providing a refreshing break from the usual X’s and O’s and giving everyone a chance to enjoy the moment before the grind of the season begins.
As a token of support, we gifted every team in attendance a custom banner schedule of their upcoming regular season to display in their locker room.

Special thanks go to the Kucharski family for their help organizing the event and to the Pachucy family for providing a welcoming atmosphere and excellent lunch service throughout the day.
With scrimmages set to begin the weekend of August 16, the countdown to kickoff is officially underway. The passion and energy shared at Media Day signaled that the '25 season is shaping up to be one to remember.
It’s your team, your story, your platform — and we’re proud to tell it with you at SportzWire.
