TEMPLE, Texas — The Bonham Middle School Bulldog 7th Grade A football team closed out their season in dominant fashion on Monday evening, shutting out Lamar Middle School 28-0 at Herman Anderson Field at Bonham Middle School. With the impressive victory, the Bulldogs secured the title of Temple City Champs, finishing their campaign on a two-game winning streak with an outstanding 5-2 record.

Offensive Fireworks

Bonham’s offense was firing on all cylinders, orchestrated by Offensive Player of the Game, quarterback Connor Brank. Brank controlled the tempo of the game, completing multiple passes—including a touchdown strike—while picking up critical first downs with his legs and breaking into the end zone for a rushing touchdown.

The running attack proved equally devastating for the Bearcat defense. Running backs Miael Teague and Jakayden Riley-Jones both broke loose for long touchdown runs that put the game well out of reach.

Through the air, wide receiver Justin Stonum delivered a game-changing performance with 2 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown. Receivers Ben Barbosa and Dominic Valdez also hauled in key receptions to extend drives.
The Bulldogs capitalized on conversion opportunities as well: wide receiver D'ante Hardister caught an extra-point conversion pass, while quarterback Caleb Matamoros charged ahead for a rushing conversion.
