7th Grade Football
The 7th grade Gold Football teams hosted the Lynn Lucas Linx yesterday afternoon.  The Gold "B" team set the tone early in the first game intercepting the first pass of the game and ran it back for a touchdown.  The Bears played solid on defense and kept the Linx at bay ultimately winning 19 to 7.  The "A" team came out firing on all cylinders.  The Bears defense kept pressure on Lynn Lucas and didn't allow them to sniff the endzone, while the offense held the gas pedal down.  The Bears scored at will and won 32 to 0.  Great job Bears.  The Gold teams will host the Tomball Courgars next week, so come out and support your Bears.
