Bruce Frey Talks Week Zero Friday Night Football On The Slam

For three decades plus, the colorful commentary of Bruce Frey has been a staple of high school sports on Beaver County Radio, stretching into the confines of Coaches Corner, the Friday night Wrap-Up Show, as well as expanding into FM territory with the new 99.3 presented by St. Barnabas.

After night one of Week Zero action in the WPIAL, Bruce was as colorful as ever, talking to Matt Drzik and Greg Benedetti about the Freedom/Hopewell game he covered with Tom Hays, the initial reaction to the first games of the season, and his predictions on whether the Beaver County Radio crew will make their way back to Heinz Field in November.
