It took 35 years for Bear River and Nevada Union to meet up on the gridiron in an official game. The long awaited contest did not disappoint.
The two Nevada County high schools, located a little more than 16 miles apart, battled it out Friday night with the Miners coming from behind in the fourth quarter to top the Bruins, 20-9, at J. David Ramsey Stadium.
