THE LOSS OF A FORMER STEELER PLAYER
It is with a heavy heart that we have to inform all our fans new and old as well as players present and past from the start of the Lake County Steelers, about the loss of a former player and one of the original Steelers. On Sunday September 21, 2008
Eriqu'e (HERC) Lowe
was shot and killed why working one of his many jobs. He was a real true friend to many and a guy who would step up and aid his fellow man, even if it meant some kind of lost to him self (slept, time, & even money if he could). We of the Steelers organization hope that everyone will keep him and his family in their prayers. HERC may GOD now give you the peace you have so deserved from him.

What is it like doing Owning and coaching for your football team?
Its a lot of work at time by very rewarding to see the fun that some players are able to have because of what I'm doing.

What do you do for a living?
I'm retired now, so most of my time is spent trying to better the Steelers and making the MSFL one of the better football leagues.
