7th Grade Purple Football:  This week the 7th grade Purple team hosted the Waller Schultz Bulldogs.  The Purple A-Team came out to play this week, firing on all cylinders.  The Bears shutout the Bulldogs, winning 21-0.  The Purple B-Team played great defense, but could not get the ball in the end zone on offense.  The Bears tied 0-0. Great job Bears and good luck next Monday in your final game against Waller.
7th Grade Gold Football:  The 7th grade Gold A-Team defeated Willow Wood Jr High 7-6.  After trailing 6-0 at half time, Traveon Franklin forced a fumble that Tristyn Gese recovered on the Bears own 2 yard line.  The very next play, Jordan Hood threw a 98 yard bomb to Jacob Prigmore.  Ben Sheilds ran in the extra point to take the lead.  Hood also had an interception, as the defense shut down the Cougars all night.  Great job.  The 7th grade Gold B-team traveled to Tomball where they faced a strong Willow Wood team.  Although the offense failed to score, the defense held their opponents to only one touchdown.  This was the strongest defensive showing for the Bears this year.  Standouts for the Bears were Patrick Locke, Bailen Mills and the entire defensive force unit.  Good job Bears.
8th Grade Purple Football:  The 8th grade Purple team traveled to Waller Shultz Junior High this week.  The 8th grade Purple A-Team was in a defensive battle from start to finish with the Bulldogs.  Colton Wilson returned a punt from 50 yards in the 4th quarter, securing the win for the Bears.  The Bears won 7-0.  The 8th grade Purple B-Team defeated the Bulldogs 20-7.  The Bears defense played superb.  AJ Hicks, Jesus Dela-Sancha, Brandon Serrano all scored TDs for the Bears.  The Bear defense scored 4 of the 5 TDs.  Good job Bears from all the coaches.  The Purple team will play Waller Junior High on Tuesday, Nov 6 at home.  Please come out and support your team. 
8th Grade Gold Football: The Gold Team was at home this week to take on the Willow Wood Jr. High Wildcats. The Gold A-Team has been in all close games this year but have fallen short in their last 3 games. This would not be the case this week. The Bears had great practices all week and it would pay in the end of this game. The Bears defense played hard all night and allowed only 6 points to show for it. The Bears offense also had a good night as they put up 14 points. And last the special teams got in on the action as they returned the second half kick-off for the touchdown. This would be a team victory all the way as your Bears beat the Wildcats from Willow Wood 20-6. The Gold B-Team got the night started off with a bang as they put up more points in this game then they have all year. The Bears offense came out on fire running and throwing the ball all over the field. These guys came into this game poised and ready for the job at hand. Even though they played well they were down 26-7 at halftime. But they made adjustments at halftime and the second half looked nothing like the first half. The Bears came out and scored 23 unanswered points to take the lead 30-26 with 2:00 left in the game. But just 3 plays later the Wildcats running back broke through the defense and ran 50 yards for the score. But the Bears were not done yet. They came out in their no huddle offense and drove the ball down the field to the Wildcats 15 yard line and the clock expired on them as they fell in this one with a score of 32-30. This is one of the best games I have ever been a part of as a Coach. Great Job from Coach Schramm and Coach Payne.
