Bud Coy was still sleeping in a crib the last time the Bremerton High School football team won a league title.
That was 1993.

Bremerton offers one of the largest softball league in the state, but turnouts rates have dipped with the economy.
The Olympic Tigers will participate in regionals for the first time ever, but the club must win without its best pitcher.
