3 New football coaches @ the 3 Bend high schools

Josh Cordell — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:55:59 +0000

State champion Steve Turner of Mountain View is the latest coach to step down. The three Bend high schools all lost longtime, successful football coaches after this past season. Turner says he plans on return to Cascade High School.

First Bend’s Craig Walker, then Summit’s Jerry Hackenbruck and now MV’s Turner. The jobs have been filled by very capable coaches at Bend and Summit already.
