The Montgomery Bears 7th grade Gold football teams hosted the Bear Branch Bears yesterday evening.  The "B" team played aggressive all game and played hard until the final whistle blew.  The Bears recovered a fumble in the end zone to tie the game up with less than a minute left and punched in the extra point to go ahead winning 13 to 12.  The "A" team played after and played a tough game.  The Bears went back and forth scoring on several kick off returns.  Bear Branch scored late in the game and Montgomery ultimately ran out of time losing 34 to 38.  The Montgomery Bears 7th grade football teams will face-off against each other next Monday.  Good luck next week and come out and support your Bears!!!
