Bremond wasted little time taking control, putting 28 points on the scoreboard in the first quarter before adding another 20 in the second. The Tigers carried a 48-0 advantage into halftime, then scored 13 more points in the third period to build a 61-0 lead. Holland recorded all 16 of its points in the fourth quarter, but the outcome was already decided. Quarterback Sam Kasowski led Bremond’s passing attack, completing 11 of 14 attempts for 225 yards and one touchdown without an interception. His efficient performance gave the Tigers another dimension alongside their productive running game. Tyriq Scott contributed 60 rushing yards and a touchdown on five carries, averaging 12 yards per attempt. Receiver Jaden Scott finished with four catches for 80 yards, averaging 20 yards per reception. The Tigers’ defense was just as effective early, keeping the Hornets off the scoreboard through three quarters. Bremond’s 61-point output was its latest demonstration of a team capable of scoring quickly and protecting an early advantage. Bremond has scored 456 points through nine games, an average of 50.7 per outing, while allowing just 108, an average of 12 points per game. The Tigers have won all four home games and all five road games, demonstrating consistency regardless of venue. Their season scoring margin stands at 348 points, reflecting success on both sides of the football. The Tigers’ next challenge figures to be among the most significant of the regular season. Bremond hosts Chilton at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, in a district matchup between two teams with a combined 17 victories. The Pirates enter with an 8-1 record after defeating Burton 39-33. Bremond and Chilton have faced seven common opponents this season, and both teams have emerged victorious in every matchup. The Tigers and Pirates each defeated Marlin, Holland, Somerville, Milano, Bartlett, Snook and Burton, giving both programs identical 7-0 records against those shared opponents. The offensive comparisons suggest another potentially high-scoring contest. Bremond averages 419.1 total yards per game, including 260.3 rushing and 158.8 passing. Chilton averages 365.4 total yards, with 275 on the ground and 90.4 through the air.

Bremond’s Jaden Scott averages 117.6 rushing yards per game, while Kasowski averages 156.7 passing yards. Chilton’s Dha’corian Evans averages 130.9 rushing yards, and quarterback Marneko Thomas averages 82.1 passing yards. Defensively, Bremond averages 72.1 tackles per game compared with Chilton’s 53.3. The Tigers also average 1.1 sacks per contest, while the Pirates average 0.8. For Bremond, the opportunity to finish the regular season undefeated provides additional motivation. A victory would give the Tigers their 10th consecutive win and complete a perfect 10-0 regular season. With both teams undefeated against their seven common opponents, Friday’s meeting promises to provide a compelling conclusion to district play. The Tigers now have one final regular-season obstacle standing between them and perfection.
