Dennis Phillips publisher@robconews.com Robertson County News Bremond continued its dominant postseason surge last week with a commanding 53-32 victory over Grapeland in a non-league showdown on November 21, sending the Tigers’ faithful home pleased and pushing the unbeaten program to a perfect 12-0 record. The Sandies struggled to contain Bremond’s speed and physicality as the Tigers controlled the pace and put consistent pressure on both sides of the ball, reinforcing their status as one of the most dangerous teams remaining in the 2025 UIL 2A Division II playoff field. Now, Bremond shifts its focus to another high-stakes test as the Tigers prepare for a neutral-site playoff battle against the Mart Panthers on Friday, November 28, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The matchup marks the second meeting of the season between the two programs, with Bremond already holding a 28-20 victory over Mart from their September 26 conference clash. Statistically, the contrast between the two teams paints a clear picture of Bremond’s dominance. The Tigers enter averaging 50.0 points per game and have outscored opponents 600-181 on the season. Their explosive start in games has been a defining trait, posting nearly 20 points per contest in the first quarter alone. Bremond is ranked 114th in Texas, 25th in its section and second in the state division, underscoring its positioning as a legitimate state contender. Mart, meanwhile, comes in with a 7-5 overall record and a 4-3 district mark. The Panthers have shown resilience throughout the season, tallying 427 points while allowing 257, but will face their toughest challenge against a Bremond squad that has yet to show weakness. Mart averages 35.6 points per game but has struggled to match Bremond’s early scoring bursts, a key factor in their first meeting. Bremond’s balanced scoring attack and disciplined defensive execution have defined its playoff run, while Mart will need near-perfect execution to slow the Tigers’ momentum. With a spotless record and confidence at its peak, Bremond enters Friday’s contest intent on keeping its championship pursuit alive and taking another step toward a state title appearance. All eyes will be on whether the Tigers can once again overpower Mart or if the Panthers can rewrite the narrative in this critical postseason rematch.
