Bears claw through Knights 69-7, stay unbeaten

There was very little the Bears did wrong in House Park Stadium during their 69-7 rout of Austin McCallum on Thursday.

Bastrop scored on all but three possessions and added two defensive touchdowns to keep its perfect record intact Sept. 25. Now 5-0 with two District 11-5A Division II wins, the Bears enter their bye week averaging 60.4 points per game and have scored at least 48 in every contest.

The Bears had a balanced offensive attack. Quarterback Weston Nielsen completed 18 of 22 passes for 297 yards and four touchdowns, while senior running back Gary Jefferson Jr. carried 165 of the team’s 288 rushing yards with six receptions and four scores of his own.
