Dennis Phillips publisher@robconews.com Robertson County News BREMOND — The Bremond Tigers remained undefeated Friday night, powering past Chilton 48-22 to extend their perfect season to 8-0 overall and 5-0 in district play. The Tigers, now sitting firmly atop their district standings, continue to display the same explosive offense and defensive discipline that have defined their 2025 campaign. Bremond once again showcased its versatility and balance on offense, piling up 48 points behind a sharp passing performance from sophomore quarterback Sam Kasowski and a dominant ground attack led by senior Tank Scott. Kasowski connected on 9 of 14 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown, maintaining a steady rhythm through the air that kept the Pirates off balance throughout the night. Scott was the centerpiece of the Tiger offense, punishing the Chilton defense with 19 carries for 160 yards and two touchdowns, including a long breakaway run that swung momentum in Bremond’s favor early. Senior T. Morehead added 18 yards on a pair of carries, while Xavier Clark contributed 43 yards on seven attempts. Junior Tyriq Scott chipped in 13 yards on six carries, and Kasowski scrambled for nine yards on two runs, giving Bremond a total of 243 rushing yards for the game. The Tigers’ offense struck early and often, scoring 14 points in each of the first two quarters to take a commanding 28-8 halftime lead. They maintained control after the break, outscoring Chilton 13-14 in the third and sealing the victory with a strong final-quarter drive that pushed the total to 48. Bremond’s defense limited Chilton to just 22 points, holding the Pirates scoreless in the second and fourth quarters. The Tigers have now outscored opponents 380-98 on the season, averaging an impressive 47.5 points per game while allowing just 12.2. Now riding an eight-game winning streak, Bremond will look to remain perfect when they travel to face the Hubbard Jaguars on Friday, Oct. 31, at 7 p.m. A win would clinch their ninth consecutive victory and further solidify their dominance as one of the top small-school football powers in Texas.
