Emerald piled up yards all night, but BHP kept answering on the ground and found a way to win a shootout in Greenwood. This week’s Bear Tracks walks through the night, the chase-down tackle that kept BHP in front, and the goal-line stand that sealed it. Then we break down how the new RPI system rewarded BHP’s tough schedule with a first-round bye, and why a certain Seneca storyline might be waiting on the other side.

2026 Week 9 Bear Tracks

BHP took the ball away from Wren five times last Friday and still came home on the wrong side of a 41-21 final, which is the kind of math that will bother you for a few days if you let it. This week we walk back through how a game that close on the field turned into a 20 point score, spend some time on a freshman who did a little bit of everything, and then turn toward Greenwood, where an unbeaten history against Emerald runs straight into one of the most explosive teams in 3A with a lot of playoff seeding riding on the result.
