8th Grade Purple Football:  The 8th grade Purple A-Team traveled to Willow Wood Jr High this week.  The first half of the game was a defensive battle with the Bears traveling at the half 7-12, with Ricky Queen scoring our TD and Michael St. Kelly completing our extra point.  The defense played hard but could not hold off Willow Wood.  The final score of the game was 7-20.  The Purple B-Team offense played very well this week against Willow Wood.  Shawn Bolt scored 2 touchdowns and Peter Williams scored another touchdown, defeating Willow Wood 18-12.  The defense also played well with Eugene Reyes intercepting the ball in less than a minute to go in the game, securing the win for the Bears.

8th Grade Gold Football: The 8th grade Gold teams were at home Tuesday to take on the Bears from Bear Branch Jr. High School.

Some stand outs on defense were Nick Beazley, DylanWright, O'Brien Williams, Chad Phillips, Waverly Hampton, Drew Smith and Tim Poldo. The Bears offense took care of the ball all night and played hard until the very end but the game would end in a tie 0-0.

8th Grade Volleyball: Last night our 8th grade Lady Bear A-Team took the court against Bear Branch. The girls played great defense the first game battling point for point, but fell short 25-27. During the second game, the girls fought back after being down 10-17. Our smart offense and tough serves was not enough to finish with the win. Way to battle last night girls!  The 8th grade B-Team took the court last night against Bear Branch.  We had Brooke Turley, Felicity Collier, Lauren Perry, Sierra Seale, Taylor Skinner, and Macie Lemens take the court first and defeated Bear Branch 25-15.  Next we had Abby Young, Bailee Kieselhorst, Anyah Ditta, Allie Spitalerie, Clarianne Aguilar, and Mackenzie Coleman fight hard in the second game but wasn’t enough.  Going into the third game, the Lady Bears were hungry for victory and looking to defend their home court.  Down by 9, they battled back but it was a little too late, losing 26-24.  Very proud of the way you played ladies! The 8th grade Volleyball C-Team played against Bear Branch last night.  Battling point for point, we ended up losing in two games.  You fought hard, ladies and hit the floor well.  We will get them next time.

7th Grade Purple Football: The 7th grade Purple Football Teams traveled to Tomball this week to battle the Cougars.  The Purple A-Team came out and played a tough, physical Cougar team.  Although the Bears had several opportunities, Montgomery was never able to score.  The final score was 28-0.  Keep working hard Bears and good luck next week!  The Purple B-Team was able to overcome a first half deficit and tie the game up after halftime.  The Bears defense played tough and kept Tomball out of the endzone.  Montgomery B-Team finished with a tie of 6-6.
7th Grade Gold Football: The 7th grade Gold A-Team dominated Waller this week, winning 29-6.  The defense had a great game, getting two safeties, and featured Ben Shields snatching an impressive one- handed interception.  In the game, Trayvon Franklin scored twice, Keaton Bussell scored once.  Jordan Hood threw a touchdown to Ben Shields and an extra point to Brock Nickerson.  Great job Gold Team! A monster performance by the 7th grade Gold B-Team resulted in a 34-0 win this week over the Waller Bulldogs.  It was truly a team effort with the offense scoring on every possession but one, and the defense denying Waller even one first down for the complete shut out.  Good job Bears!!!
8th Grade Purple Football: The 8th grade Purple A-Team played Tomball Tuesday night. The game was an offensive showcase from the start with Gage Arnold scoring 2 touchdowns, Jacob Gallatin scoring 1 touchdown and 1 extra point, and Kevon rounding out the scoring with 1 touchdown. Unfortunately, the Bears fell short of a win, losing 26-38. The Bears will face Bear Branch Middle school on Wednesday, October 10th. Please come out and support your Bears. The 8th grade Purple B-Team played Tomball Tuesday night. The game was a defensive battle from start to finish. The Bears Teddy Sherrill had the ball on the last possession of the game and scored the winning TD. The Bears defeated Tomball 6-0 to continue their undefeated season. Good Job Bears from all the coaches.
8th Grade Gold Football: The 8th grade Gold A-Team also traveled to Waller last night. This was a great game by both teams. Montgomery received the opening kickoff and wasted no time putting points on the board as the offense drove the ball down the field and QB Justin Garza found Chad Phillips through the air to put the Bears up 6-0. Both teams' defenses would not allow alot of points as the score held at 6-0 at the half. The second half started and the Bears defense came out and stuffed the Bulldogs. The Bears got the ball back and it only took one play as Josh Pruett took the handoff and rumbled 55 yards to pay dirt. The Bulldogs never gave up, and on their drive they ran it in for the score and added the PAT to make the score 12-8. But the story of the night would be the Bears defense as they only gave up 8 points and would force 6 turnovers on the night to help the Bears get their first win on the year 12-8. The 8th grade Gold B-Team traveled to Waller last night to take on the Bulldogs from Waller Jr. High School. This would turn out to be an exciting up and down game. The Bears received the opening kickoff and wasted no time as they took the ball straight down the field and Hunter Grimmett took the handoff and ran through the defense to the house. The Bears defense held the Bulldogs and gave the ball back to the offense for a second drive that ended with the same result as Carson DeCoster ran the ball in for the score. The Bears defense was the real story of the night as they would only allow 8 points on the game as the Bears finished the night on top with a final score of 20-8. Great job guys from Coach Schramm and Coach Payne.
