The 2017 season was a great year for Merced College Football as we were crowned 2017 Golden Coast Conference Champions!!! In 2017 we made our second consecu ve trip to a post season bowl game. A er the last three years we would enjoy nothing more to see even more success in 2019. Many of you have par cipated in many ways to support your football program here at Merced College. The success we were able to achieve on the fi eld last year, was due in large part to the support we received off the fi eld. At every turn, I get asked by many people how and where they can go to sup- port this program. The amount of gra tude felt by my players, coaches and myself can only be expressed through our ac ons and work we put forth to give back to the community which has supported us. The football program at Merced College will do all we can to increase our infl uence and exposure in the most posi ve ways possible. We look forward to making this community proud of the Blue Devils and represent you all with as much pride as you have shown us.
