2010’s- The 4-Peat Era

One of the top highlights of 2019 was the honoring of coach Shaffer in week 3 vs North Valleys. The Shaffer Family, Teri Bergstrom, and host of volunteers and donors placed a Memorial Touchstone at the base of the stairs at Surprise Stadium to honor Coach Shaffer. The idea was to start a new Tradition at Truckee as the football teams walk down the stairs to TnT they would touch the stone to honor coach. Though Shaffer’s Legendary status was already cemented into Truckee Football History, the stone literally planted his legacy for years to come. Shaffer impacted all students at Truckee High School and beyond. He received the Key to the Town of Truckee in 2010 and is forever in our hearts. We know he is looking over us and is proud of our continued pursuit of excellence. Shaffer coached football 18 seasons at Truckee and was also a track coach for many of those years. He loved riding horses and spending time with his family. Shaffer is dearly missed and I am proud to be part of this new Tradition that will extend his memory for years to come. A huge thank you to the Shaffer Family for always supporting Truckee Football. Specifically I’d like to thank Bob Shaffer Jr. for his tireless dedication to the Truckee Football Tradition. Thank you to all who made the Touchstone happen: Teri Bergstrom, Lopez Excavating, Al Pombo for the stone, Andy at Truckee-Tahoe Mortuary, Bobby Jones Concrete for setting the Stone, The Village Nursery for donating plants around the stone, and to everyone who donated to pay for the plaque on GoFundMe.
