BREMOND — The Bremond Tigers continued their undefeated start Friday night, using a powerful rushing attack and an active defense to defeat the Hearne Eagles 42-18 at Bremond High School. The non-district victory improved Bremond to 3-0 and extended the Tigers’ winning streak to three games. Hearne fell to 0-3 after suffering its first road loss of the season. Bremond controlled the game with 404 yards of total offense, including 297 yards on 41 rushing attempts. The Tigers averaged 7.2 yards per carry and scored four touchdowns on the ground. Junior Jaden Scott led the charge with 205 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries.

Nobles added 63 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries, averaging 6.3 yards per attempt. R. McGee contributed 20 yards on four carries, while Sam Kasowski, N. Nobles and B. Boxley combined for nine additional yards. Kasowski provided balance through the passing game. The junior quarterback completed 6 of 8 attempts for 107 yards, one touchdown and one interception. His longest completion covered 29 yards, and he finished with a quarterback rating of 116.7. Jeramiah Morgan was Bremond’s leading receiver, catching four passes for 78 yards and a touchdown. Z. Nobles added 18 receiving yards, and J. Yanowski recorded 11 yards through the air. Scott also contributed on special teams, recording 77 kickoff return yards. He finished the night with 282 all-purpose yards, accounting for more than half of Bremond’s team total of 481. The Tigers entered the matchup with a sizable statistical advantage on offense. Bremond was averaging 340.3 rushing yards, 153.3 passing yards and 493.7 total yards per game. Hearne entered the contest averaging 60 rushing yards, 60.5 passing yards and 120.5 total yards. Bremond’s defense supported the offensive effort by recording 38 tackles, four tackles for loss and three sacks. Boxley led the Tigers with seven tackles, including three solo stops and four assists. Jaden Scott and T. Scott recorded six tackles apiece. T. Scott also registered two tackles for loss and two sacks. T. Roberts finished with five tackles, and McGee contributed four tackles and one tackle for loss. Jaden Scott added a tackle for loss and one sack to complete an effective two-way performance. The result continued two very different starts to the season for the Robertson County programs. Bremond has scored 118 points through three games while allowing 53. The Tigers are 2-0 at home and 1-0 on the road. Their strong opening stretch has them positioned to carry momentum into district competition. Hearne has scored 32 points and allowed 86 during its first three games. The Eagles are 0-2 at home and 0-1 on the road, but their 18 points against Bremond represented their highest offensive output of the season. The Eagles will return home Friday, Sept. 18, for a non-district matchup against Hempstead. The Bobcats enter the contest with a 1-2 record after defeating Houston Scarborough 65-29. Hearne will look to build on its offensive improvement while attempting to slow a Hempstead team that found the end zone repeatedly in its first victory. The Eagles remain 0-0 in district play, leaving their primary season goals ahead of them. Bremond will have an open week before traveling to Somerville on Friday, Sept. 25, for its District 13-2A Division II opener. Somerville enters the matchup at 0-3 after suffering a 52-7 non-district loss to Rosebud-Lott. The Yeguas will be challenged by a Bremond offense that has demonstrated the ability to strike through the running and passing games. For the Tigers, the victory over Hearne offered another example of the formula behind their unbeaten beginning. Bremond ran the ball effectively, completed passes at a high percentage and pressured the opposing offense. With Scott supplying explosive plays and Kasowski directing a balanced attack, the Tigers completed non-district play with the confidence and momentum that accompany a perfect record. The next challenge will be carrying that production into games that count toward the district standings.

FRANKLIN — The Franklin Lions will leave the friendly confines of their home stadium for the first time this season when they travel to Robinson for a non-district football game Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Robinson High School. Franklin enters the matchup with an 0-2 record after dropping both of its opening games at home. The Lions have scored 36 points while allowing 82 and will attempt to end a two-game losing streak against one of the stronger teams in Central Texas. Robinson carries a 2-1 record into the contest, including a perfect 2-0 mark on the road. The Rockets have scored 128 points and surrendered 119 through three games. Their only loss came at home. The matchup will test a Franklin defense facing a Robinson offense averaging 42.7 points per game. The Rockets have been particularly effective after halftime, averaging 14 points in the third quarter and 12.3 in the fourth. Franklin is averaging 18 points per game. The Lions have yet to score in the first quarter this season but average 8.5 points in the second, 6.5 in the third and three in the fourth. A quicker offensive start could be critical against a Robinson team capable of producing points throughout the game. Sawyer Januse leads Franklin’s ground attack with an average of 64 rushing yards per game. Januse also averages 64 total yards. Ayden Groves has provided a receiving threat for the Lions, averaging 48 receiving yards per game. Robinson is led by Ryan Jaro, a running back and defensive back who has contributed in several areas. Jaro averages 64 rushing yards, 117 passing yards and 181 total yards per game. Jackson Paris, a tight end and middle linebacker, averages 90 receiving yards. The Rockets hold statistical advantages in passing and total offense. Robinson averages 78 passing yards and 139.7 total yards per game. Franklin averages 74.5 rushing yards and 74.5 total yards. Robinson is ranked No. 72 in Texas and No. 6 in Class 4A Division II. Franklin is ranked No. 193 statewide and No. 7 in Class 3A Division I. The Lions are also ranked No. 59 in Region III and No. 13 in the Waco area. Friday’s game gives Franklin an opportunity to reset its season before district competition. A road victory would stop the early slide, build confidence and provide the Lions with momentum as they move deeper into the schedule.
