(Fremont County, WY) – Fort Washakie’s Bryan “Beaver” St. Clair joined the County 10 Sports Podcast this week to talk all things basketball.
The former Lander Tiger is entering his junior season for the College of Idaho in Caldwell, after taking a redshirt year in 2021-22. The Yotes won the NAIA National Championship during the 2022-23 season. St. Clair saw action in 23 games that year. Last season, that was increased to 26 games.
College of Idaho opens with an exhibition game this Friday in Laramie, taking on the Wyoming Cowboys in the Arena Auditorium. Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m. St. Clair told us that as soon as that game was announced, he raced to the phone to tell his parents and family members that he’d be playing in his home state. He told us he’ll have family members from Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and is told “a bus or two” of folks from the Wind River Reservation are headed down to support him.
St. Clair is passionate about the game of basketball. But he’s equally as passionate about helping others. He described to us about coaching youth camps to try to give back to Fremont County young people. He also described his hopes to bring the knowledge from his Psychology degree back to the Wind River Reservation to assist others who may be struggling mentally. College of Idaho announced this year a partnership with the Jae Foundation, in both Idaho and Wyoming. The foundation helps raise awareness about mental health resources.
