The Bastrop Bears varsity football team will open the 2025-26 season on the road against the Alvin Yellowjackets Friday, Aug. 29, at Alvin High School.
The Bears are looking for a repeat of last year’s season opener, when they rolled past Alvin 41-6 to set the tone for a strong campaign. Bastrop finished 9-3 overall and captured a district championship, and the Bears enter this season eager to build on that success.
Leading the charge will be junior quarterback Weston Nielsen, who is coming off a breakout sophomore season. Nielsen threw for 37 touchdowns in 2024, cementing himself as one of the top young quarterbacks in Central Texas. His ability to lead an offense that lost several key pieces will be one of the biggest storylines heading into the year.
