BEAR RIVER HIGH – By Cari Doutre – November 5, 2020
The Utah Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association has awarded Bear River High School student athletes and teams big honors that date back to spring 2020 – the season that never was. An Academic State Champion team in each sport and classification is awarded to the school with the highest-grade point average (GPA).
And Bear River High student athletes did extremely well academically.
Van Park, Bear River High School Athletic Director, recently received a plaque for the 2020 Bear River High softball team that were named the 4A Academic State Champions. Despite only playing two games last spring before schools and sports were shut down due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic concerns, the team still made the grade.
