From end zone to sideline, Roger Bacon was always 'home' to Mike Blaut

Mike Blaut's journey with Roger Bacon football began in the end zone of Bron Bacevich Memorial Stadium as a child. Decades later, he witnessed the school's first regional championship in 2020, a historic moment for the program. Blaut, who graduated from Roger Bacon in 1988, spent most of his coaching career there and eventually became the head coach.

After 12 seasons, he stepped down from the head-coaching position after a 68-61 record from 2015-2026. Blaut, who considers Roger Bacon his home, hopes his players remember more than victories, emphasizing the values of Faith, Family, and Football.
