KEVIN SARGENT

Football

Sargent played football, basketball and baseball at East High. Because of his size, well over 6-feet, he played the line in football, center in basketball, and pitched and first base in baseball. "He was a good player, but football was his sport," praised Les Eathorne, Kitsap Hall of Fame basketball player and coach. Eastern Washington University discovered him while scouting another player and envisioned him as an offensive lineman of about 280 pounds. By the time he finished at EWU (1988-91) he was listed at 6-6 and 280 and signed a free agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals in 1992. His rookie season he played in 16 games and started in eight of them as an offensive tackle.

He started 15 games in each of the 1994 and '95 seasons, but missed the whole regular season in 1996 with a herniated disc.

Since football he has become involved at area golf courses.

New Athletic Director George Duarte makes it known publicly that Jr. High coaches will work with high school coaches to rebuild sports programs.

"One thing has been fixed on Duarte’s watch. In the past, there has been little cohesiveness between the varsity coaches and the junior high feeder programs — something that’s standard operating procedures in most school districts.

Those days are over. The varsity coach is in charge of the program, from seniors to seventh graders. Period."

"This year, Bremerton High school had one of the strongest teams it has had in years. The team was well balanced, well disciplined, and very optimistic about where the season could take them. But what really separated the team from previous years was the team's unity.

Never has B.H.S. fielded such a tight knit group of athletes. The team feeling was more of a family than a football team. This definitely played a major role in the squad's success.
The overall balance of the team also contributed greatly to it's success. The squad had many talented players from all grades - sophomores, juniors and seniors - who all added up to the team's total strength. The balance of leadership was also in favor of the Knights.

Going into the '92 season , the team was very optimistic about the entire upcoming season. Many felt that through hard work and teamwork, the playoffs were not that far off a goal. This dream came close to being realized when Bremerton was forced to travel to play the Port Angeles High Roughriders in a mini-game to determine a playoff berth. After two quarters of intense football, the Roughriders came out on top by a single point, leaving the Knights thirsty for next year."
