Sorry to hear of the passing of former Sweet Home coaching legend John Faller. One of the classiest coaches to ever coach in WNY. 🙏🏼❤️.
RIP to a true legend. this man right here made Sweet Home football what it was. Not only did he make me a better football player, but a better person in general. He meant a whole lot to the Torrillo family. You will be truly missed Coach Faller🙏🏼❤️🐐
