Bears Win Preseason Game versus Rockets

The Bears completed their first preseason game Saturday with a shutout (38-0) over the Bear River Valley Rockets. The game was typical of a preseason game with some sloppy play, but it was very encouraging as everyone got a chance to play and learn. The Bears looked like they have the potential to be a better team than last year with several key additions and more depth than last season. Once the bugs are worked out and players know what to expect from team members, the Bears will be back to their end-of-season form of last year. With the number of players on the team, the only problem will be satisfying the playing time desires of everyone on the team.

If the Bears can keep their team together with all of the depth they have currently, they should compete nicely for the title this year. The difficulty will be to keep players on the team in backup roles and keep them satisfied. Frustration often occurs on teams like this because of playing time. It is difficult to play everyone and have everyone be satisfied. It appears that once the team has practiced more and comes together as a team, the biggest challenge will be to keep everyone on the team happy. If that can be done, the Bears should be an early favorite in the championship game this season.

Next Saturday is the final preseason game of the new season. The game will be played at Logan High School at 3 p.m. against the Pocatello Pretators. If you haven't seen the Bears play in the past, this will be a great opportunity to see the team and the game atmosphere available. Join the Bears, you won't be disappointed.
