BHP dropped to 0-2 for the first time since 2008 after a 45-7 road loss to Daniel, but the scoreboard buried the real story of a young Bears team that held one of 3A's best offenses to 80 yards in the first quarter and outscored the Lions coming out of the half. This week's Bear Tracks digs into what Ty Dubose and the front seven are building, why freshman quarterback Rylan Crooks is checking boxes, and what BHP has to do to get right against a winless but dangerous J.L. Mann squad rolling into the Bear Den. Plus a jersey-design grievance nobody asked for, and a Quick Note on the greatest Bear of them all lighting it up in a Samford uniform. Head down, next play, Them Big Bad Bear Fans.

2026 Week 2 Bear Tracks

The Bears took a bigger, deeper T.L. Hanna team to the wire in the season opener, leading late into the fourth quarter before a 24-yard walk-off kick sent the night to Hanna, 17-14. Even in the loss, this group proved talent and fight still run deep at BHP, and now the challenge only steepens. The number two team in 3A, the Daniel Lions, will host the Bears with maybe the best offense the Bears will see all season and a defense to match. We break down the opener and give the three keys that will decide Friday, And of course, why Them Big Bad Bear Fans need to pack the place once again.

Hanna in the 27th meeting between these two and the first since 2021, two of the most consistent programs in the state finally back on the same field. Both sides are breaking in new faces, both have questions to answer, and Friday night is where the answers start.
