Friday night marked the end of an era for Bear River football.
Co-head coaches Terry Logue and Scott Savoie, the two men most responsible for building the Bear River program into a small-school powerhouse, led the Bruins in gridiron battle for the final time at J. David Ramsey Stadium.
“It’s bittersweet, but it’s time,” said Logue, who first started at Bear River in 1987 and has tallied 251 wins as a head coach. “I know it’s time in my heart. Physically, mentally, I just can’t do it. Scott’s been with me a long time. It’s time to let the younger guys run the show.”

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.
