Bob Loncar one of the men behind West Wendover first and so far only state crown 10 years ago and currently head of the local Little League football organization was tapped to be the new head coach of the West Wendover Wolverines for the 2013 season said WWHS principal Craig Kyllonen this month.
Involved in youth sports in some form or another since 1975, Loncar has coached every high school sport imaginable but football has always been his favorite.
“It really is my first love,” Loncar said in a Monday interview. “It has such a positive impact on kids. From learning team work to accepting personal responsibility you can really see kids grow as the season goes.”
In addition to coaching high school linemen in the 90’s and the early 2000’s, Loncar was one of the founders of Wendover first little league football and then restarted the program after he returned to Wendover four years ago.
“I am really exited about the upcoming season,” Loncar added. “We have a great group of returning players and some really promising kids who will freshmen.”
