Rob Scheidt adds his two sons to the Merced Bears coaching staff

Merced High Football Head Coach Rob Scheidt begins his 31st season with the Bears by integrating his two sons into the coaching staff for the first time. Sam Scheidt serves in his eighth year as a member of the staff, while Seth Scheidt recently joined the team following his college career at Fresno State. The coaching trio aims to provide additional guidance to the roster as the Bears build upon a winning tradition. Merced opened its current season with an overtime victory last week. Rob Scheidt credits the addition of his sons to the staff as a source of renewed energy for the program. The coaching arrangement reflects a long-standing familial connection to the sport that extends back to Rob Scheidt’s own experience playing under his father.
