7th grade Gold
The 7th grade Gold "B" Team played the game of the season when they fought back from a 12-0 deficit at halftime and dominated the second half to defeat the Schultz Bulldogs 13-12. The players of the game on offense were Damean Davenport who ran all over the Bulldog defense in the second half. Noel Spurlock did a great job of running the offense from his quarterback position. Kyle Dahlstedt scored one of the touchdowns for the Bears but fumbled in the end zone. The Bears offensive line secured the touchdown for the Bears by recovering the fumble. Spurlock added the PAT. Spurlock would later add the second TD for the Bears on a run into the end zone. Dowling Dickey dazzled the crowd with an amazing kickoff return. Great job from Coach Buss and Coach Dickson.
The 7th grade Gold "A" Team played a tough Bulldog team last night and came away with a hard-fought 12-6 win. The Bulldogs scored first but the Bears came back and scored quickly when quarterback Braydon Stone ran the option play to perfection. Stone pitched the ball to Connor Wilson who raced down the sideline for a 65 yard touchdown. Later in the game, Stone would throw a 5 yard pass to Wilson for the Bears second score. Playing well on defense for the Bears was Matt Ward from his noseguard position. Luke Loera made a game-saving tackle late in the game to secure the victory. Shane Hunter and Daniel Dobis blocked a punt in the first half. Coach Buss and Coach Dickson want to say how proud they are of the effort that both teams gave in the two victories. Both the A and B teams finished the season with identical six wins and two loss records.
7th Grade Purple
The Montgomery Bears Purple 7th grade B team split and played each other this week. Both teams played hard, but the Purple “White” team prevailed over the Purple “Purple” team, winning 7-0.
The 7th grade Purple A team came out firing on all cylinders against the Waller Bulldogs. The Bears played great on defense and kept Waller out of the endzone. Montgomery scored at will, winning 28-0. Great job Bears!
The 8th grade Gold teams hosted the Waller Schultz Bulldogs last night in the last game of the season. The 8th grade Gold B team started the night off strong with excellent showings in all three phases of the game. The offense scored 5 touchdowns with 5 different players, including Matthew Ramirez, Nathaniel Schubert, Tanner Thomas, Larry Scott, and Luke Stuart. Extra points were also scored by Luke Stuart and Justin St. Clair. The offensive line dominated all night and Jacob Malone had a 20 yard run to pick up an important first down. The defense was led by standouts Chance Steuber, Matthew Hablinski, and Bryce Futral. Matthew Ramirez also had a kickoff return for a touchdown. Congratulations to the Gold B team for the big 38-6 win and for a great season from Coach Washington and Coach Bourgeois
In 8th grade Gold A team news, the Bears overcame a wild 2nd quarter to come away with the win over the Bulldogs. The A team made huge plays on offense, defense, and special teams last night. Alex Nunn scored on a punt return and Luke Coleman converted on 6 PAT's, thanks to great snaps and holds from Austin Pritchett and Caleb Cambell, and executed two onside kicks to highlight the special teams play. Offensively, two more scores from Nunn, two from Juwan Raglin, and one each from Campbell and Ben Bolt would round out the scoring. Defensively, the Bear D-line and backers were all over the Bulldog quarterback forcing many mistakes and getting sacks. Kenyura Hill was able to force a fumble and Brock Nickerson, Jonathan Nath, and Alex Nunn were able to recover fumbles. Each phase of the game helped the Bears get a victory of a whopping 54 - 20 over Waller Schultz. Congratulations to the Gold A team for a great win and for an awesome season from Coach Washington and Coach Bourgeois.
8th Grade Purple
The Montgomery 8th grade Purple B Team traveled to Waller this week to take on the Waller Jr. High Bulldogs. This was a tight game but the Bears scored early and refused to allow the Bulldogs offense to move the ball all night long. This would turn out to be a game just like your Bears have played all year. On both sides of the ball we played hard and fast from whistle to whistle the entire game. The only score of the night from Bears running back Dustin Thomas 10 yards out to put the Bears up 6-0 and that’s how it would finish. Being a part of coaching this team has been incredible and has made us better coaches because of how hard you have worked this year. Great Job from Coach Payne and Coach Schramm.
The Montgomery 8th grade Purple A Team also traveled to Waller this week to take on the Bulldogs. The past four games the Bears have played have been lights out and this one would be no different. The Bears offense came out firing away and in the first half only having the ball for a total of four plays on offense and scored 3 touchdowns. Bears quarterback Jordan Hood threw 4 passes for 245 yards and 3 touchdowns in the first half alone. He connected with Bears receivers Jody Miller, Seth Quinlan and Jacob Prigmore for long strikes through the air. Then Waller punted the ball away and Ben Shields took the punt return untouched through the Bulldog defense 70 yards for the score to make it 26-0 at the half. The second half was much of the same as the Bears got the ball first and Bears running back Trayveon Franklin took the kickoff, broke a tackle, and turned on the speed as he walked away from the Bulldogs to score from 80 yards out to make it a Final 32-0. This has been a great year and has been an honor to be able to be a part of such a great group of athletes and young men for us coaches. Great season and thank you for giving us everything you had on every play every game, from Coach Payne and Coach Schramm.
