BEAR RIVER JUNIOR BRUINS FOOTBALL - ANTELOPE

It was a Big Day for the Bear River Junior Bruins football program when they hosted and swept the Antelope Titans at all levels. This is the first time in many years that the BRJB organization has won at all levels.

I attended the final two games of the day. In game one it was the Junior Midget Division. The better conditioned, smaller and quicker team earned the 20-6 win. The JM team was led by Daniel Tandem who scored from 16 yards out to take the lead in the first quarter. Calder Kunde scored from the 10. Austin Slinning had the longest run of the day which was good for 69 yards. Antelope scored with 20 seconds to play in the game.

In game two it was quarterback Clay Corripo who led the aerial attach along with a host of running backs. They can run as well as any junior team I have seen. The combination of size and speed in the back field makes the passing game that much easier. This is a run first team, but when Corripo does drop back to pass he looks at ease as he passed to his primary target Justin Kilgore who is one of the teams best receivers.

MAGNOLIA 8TH GRADE HOOPS - OVER WEIMAR

The Magnolia Lady Rattlers 8th grade basketball team finished off the first half of the Nevada County Athletic League's regular season play with a 35-11 win over the Weimar Warriors. Katelyn Meylor led all scorers with 10 points and again played tough defense. Kayla Toft scored 6 and also provided a significant defensive presence.

Bella Batula and Annie Kollehner knocked down 4 points apiece with some nice shooting. While rebounding was led by Karinne McDonald, Mallory Rath, and Meylor. The Rattlers move to 5-1 on the season.

MY HERO - A PLAYER GIVES PROPS TO COACH

Why do I coach youth sports teams? This is a very simple answer. I coach with hopes of instilling a love of the game so the player may be interested in coaching his children when he gets older.

The photo above was sent to me by a player that I have coached a few seasons. While I did not expect any player to list me as their hero. But it does reinforce that I'm on the right track as his mentor.

If you are a coach of children, it's not if you win or lose the game, it is how you made them feel about the game that is the most important. Thank you for keeping me going with your positive words.

TRUCKEE RIVER TROUT FISHING - SEPTEMBER 2013

Over Labor Day weekend I took my brother to the Truckee River where we hooked many brown and rainbow trout. We fished for about 4 hours and landed 6 total fish. The rainbow in the photo was the largest landed.

The air in Truckee was better than we had expected but the smoke was still hovering. It seemed as if when the sun was shining directly on the water something with a flash was effective. When the sun was off the water a light brown worked.

The time we spent fishing together was great as it was filled with good conversation, fond memories and big brother catching the largest fish.
