You may have seen him atop a retro fire truck riding down Main Street in Edgartown, or at an Island library with frenetic children bouncing on his lap caterwauling Christmas wishes.

Thanks, Coach Posted: Apr. 15, 2021 1:01 PM PDT
For years, the favorite part of my job on-air at KNCO has been doing play by play sports. I have been blessed over the years to have outstanding teams to cover, including girls basketball teams that were nationally ranked and high school football teams that played for section titles. Most of my years have been covering Bear River Bruin football and wanted to extend my thanks and best wishes to co-head coaches, Terry Logue and Scott Savoie, who have announced their retirement from coaching after last week’s game against Colfax. They are great men who help mold the Bruins into consistent winners, both on and off the field. And they made me a better broadcaster. I will miss them both and they will be tough shoes to fill.

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.
