BREMOND, Texas — The Bremond Tigers are itching at the bit to hit someone who isn't wearing a red and white uniform.
It's been nearly nine months since the Tigers lost to Falls City in the Class 2A DII Regional Finals, and the program is hungry for another shot at a state title.
Despite losing star running back JT Anthony, the Tigers are once again loaded on offense. Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine ranks Bremond seventh in the 2A DII preseason poll.
That's a testament to the program head coach Jeff Kasowski has built, and the team's "next man up" mentality.
"Main thing is to get everyone in shape," Kasowski says. "We have some good possibilities to replace the guys we lost last year."
"We got a lot of athletes," senior running back TJ Grimes says. "We ready, we ready!"
"We have the ability to make it that far," senior lineman Riley Slafka says. "We have some shoes to fill but we'll be able to make it then."
The Tigers open the season on August 28th against Normangee. Bremond knocked off the Panthers 40-28 last season.
