2023 Week 4 Bear Tracks
Hey there, Bear fans! Another week, another W for BHP as the season keeps rolling on. The Bears remain undefeated, thanks to a stellar performance from the offensive line and the unstoppable force known as Marquise Henderson. This week, the Bears hit the road, ready to do some Purple Pillaging.
2023 Week 3 Bear Tracks
Hey, Bear Fans! So, another week in the books, another W on the board. This season's storyline is starting to remind me of that movie where you can't leave your seat because you're just dying to know what happens next. And what's this? An X-men twist? Tell me more!
2023 Week 2 Bear Tracks
Bear fans, How Bout Them Bears Friday night? Did you catch the Bears unleashing four quarters of peak BHP football all in one spectacular evening?

2023 Week 1 Bear Tracks
We've made it to starting line! After sweating it out far from the limelight, it's time for the Bears to shine bright under those Friday night lights. Week 1? More like Week Fun! And our Bears get to dance with the Westside Rams in BHP's own backyard. Talk about home-field advantage.
Grab Bag
We're smack dab in the middle of that weird no man’s land. BHP is still tackling preseason foes while some of the South Carolina squads are already kicking off their seasons. The Bears just finished off a scrimmage and jamboree last week, and now they're up the road to York this Thursday to put a bow on their preseason. And speaking of wrapping things up, it's about that time to close out our preseason blogging blitz with a fresh little number I’m gonna call: "The Grab Bag".
Bold Predictions 2023
Hey, Bear fans! We have come to that time of the preseason when I break out the crystal ball and go full-on Nostradamus on the upcoming season. Big calls, I know, but this team's got me dreaming big. Right now, BHP's just come off a scrimmage and is gearing up for a jamboree later this week. Finally, we get to see the Bears in action on the field. We're just a breath away from the games that really count, and frankly, I can't contain my excitement.
The Bear Tracks Five Questions
We’re done with all the hype around the stadium soundtracks and soundboard. Now it's time to dive into what we're all here for – Bear football! Each season, I serve up five burning questions for every BHP Bear team to answer. And for this season, here they are.
Soundboard
Welcome to the sequel: Stadium Sounds Part II, a foray into the realm of in-game sound bites. Here's the plan: pinpointing those crucial in-game moments when a well-timed sound bite can send a jolt of electricity through the team and the crowd. And how you ask, let me paint a picture for you. You know those live streamers and broadcasters with their soundboards, ready to drop a sound effect at the click of a button, like a DJ with an air horn? That's the vibe we're going for this week.
Pregame Soundtrack
Alright, folks, it's that time of the year again, and you know what that means – we're kicking off our Bear Tracks season with a football-adjacent post! We've done it all in the past – from presenting new uniform options to waving your flag and even the mashup of BHP meets WWE last season. But this time around, we're taking on a crucial aspect of the pregame atmosphere – the ultimate pregame playlist!
Season End Bear Tracks
What a season this was. Coming into the season I started to look ahead, and in my mind, the wins started to add up and my optimism for the season started to get rolling. But as the Bears took the field the actual play was more than even I expected. From the explosive runs from Marquise Henderson to Houdini-like plays from AJ Pendleton to outstanding catches from Eli Strickland, Nevada Billups, and Drew Taylor, the Bears set records on offense. The defense did not let the offense outshine them either. The defense imposed its will and limited some of the top offenses all season. All in all, this season had nearly endless memorial moments. This team should be remembered as one of the best, especially one of the best coached by Coach Blackston.
