7th Grade Purple Football: The 7th grade Purple teams traveled to Magnolia this week to play Bear Branch.  The Purple A-Team found themselves in an early hole and ran out of time to mount a comeback, losing 12 to 21. The 7th grade Purple B-Team played and tied 7 to 7.  Good luck next week against the Magnolia Bulldogs.
7th Grade Gold Football:  The 7th grade Gold A-Team defeated Tomball Jr. High 14-12.  Jordan Hood started things off, throwing a 50 yard touchdown to Ben Shields.  Jody Miller ran for a 50 yard touchdown after Cameron Putska threw a devastating block.  The defense played great all night.  Jordan Hood also had an interception.  Great job!  The 7th grade Gold B-Team lost this week to Tomball.  Paxton Simmons and Mason Dupuis each had long runs but it was not enough to pull out the win.
8th Grade Purple Football: The 8th grade Purple A-Team also played Bear Branch.  The Bears fought hard and played very hard, but were defeated 19-48.  Kevon Hill, Gage Arnold, and Colton Wilson each scored a touchdown.  The Purple Bears will travel to Magnolia Jr High next Tuesday.  The 8th grade Purple B-Team played Bear Branch this week.  The game was a defensive battle all the way through, and the Bears fought hard.  Unfortunately, the Bears fell short of the win, losing 6-0.  Please come out and support your team. Good job Bears from all the coaches. 
8th Grade Gold Football: The Montgomery Gold Team traveled to Tomball this week to take on the Cougars.  The 8th grade Gold A-Team had a hard fight on their hands and played hard and fought all night long.  The Bears defense was on the field a lot in this game and gave everything they had all night.  The Bears offense worked hard all night long but never found the end zone in this one as the Bears fell to the Cougars 23-0.  Great job for fighting hard all the way to the end of the game.  The B-Team turned out to be a nail biter.  The Bears offense ran up and down the field on the Cougars all night.  The Bears defense also came ready to play as they held the Cougars to only 7 points in the first half.  The second half would be no different from the first as both teams fought hard, but the Bears fell a little short in the end in this one as the Cougars held for the win 20-13.  Great job Bears.

Volleyball Highlights

7th Grade Volleyball: The 7th grade Lady Bear A-Team fell to the Bear Branch Lady Bears last night.  The girls played two hard games and made a comeback towards the end.  We fell short by just a few points in the last game.  Good luck next week against the Waller Lady Bulldogs!  The 7th grade B-Team came out last night ready to play and dominated Bear Branch 25-20 & 25-18.  Great job Lady Bears on the win and good luck next week on your last game against Waller!  The 7th grade C-Team did it again!  Another great day!  They went three games with Bear Branch and came out on top.  Great job Lady Bears!
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.
