The 2025 Bear Tracks Five Questions
Every year, I sit down with the same ritual. Think of the most pressing five questions. Not the softball ones reporters throw around during media day, mind you, but the real ones that cut straight to the heart of what matters most.

Bear Tracks 2024 Season Wrap-Up
The calendar has flipped, the echoes of Friday nights have faded, and as 2025 begins, it’s time to step back and marvel at the whirlwind that was the 2024 BHP Bears football season. This isn’t your typical Bear Tracks. This is a reflection—an homage—to a season that wasn’t just played but authored like a script. Each game was a chapter, every player a character, and together they wrote a story equal parts grit, glory, and triumph.
2024 Round 5 Bear Tracks
On a frigid winter night, on a field neither team called home, two squads lined up for a chance to extend their seasons. One team in their first season, the other in their 58th, but both carried the weight of history—and the longing of a community—on their broad, collective shoulders.

The cold has rolled into South Carolina, a chill that bites at the edges of ambition and hope. But let me tell you, no frost or freeze could dampen the fire that burns in Them Bears. In fact, last Friday night, that fire erupted into a blaze so fierce it scorched its way into BHP history, delivering BHP to its fourth Upper State Championship game ever—a feat steeped in sweat, grit, and the kind of unrelenting determination that doesn't shiver in the face of cold or doubt.
2024 Round 3 Bear Tracks
Maybe it’s the creeping chill of November nights, the early sunsets that dim our collective energy, or the mounting tension of a season narrowing to its peak—but the wait for Friday nights feels endless. Monday mornings stretch into eternity, Tuesday is a second Monday in disguise, and the climb to 7:30 p.m. Friday feels more like scaling Everest without oxygen than counting down days. But as sluggish as last week’s Friday arrived, the contest between BHP and Palmetto was over before you could blink.
2024 Round 2 Bear Tracks
Round Two of the 3A playoffs is here—win, and the season continues; lose, and it’s over. For the 59th time, BHP faces Palmetto, but this Friday feels different.

2024 Round 1 Bear Tracks
