2011 REVIEW
In their first year under Jeff Kasowski the Tigers turned it on at exactly the right part of the season and returned to the playoffs. Bremond got off to a tough 0-5 start but won three of their five district games to reach the postseason. Once there the Tigers knocked off Meridian before falling to eventual state champion Tenaha in the Area round. “Overcoming the loss of 13 seniors was tough,” said Kasowski. “The best part of the season was winning a bi-district championship.” After the slow start the Tiger offense got on track in district and postseason play, putting up over 30 points in four of their final seven contests.

COACH KASOWSKI SAYS: “We will be able to count on depth at the skill positions… We expect to be in the playoffs and compete for the district championship.”
2012 OUTLOOK
Young players got two extra weeks of practice when the Tigers made the playoffs a year ago, and that will only help the 2012 team make big strides this season. Five two-way starters are back on both sides of the ball. Cade Grych saw some time at quarterback and wide receiver last season and will move under center full-time to lead the Tiger offense. He will have three experienced receivers to work with in Harrison Hull, Tyler Wilson, and Colby Wilganowski and returning running back Denovious Scaggs. However the Tigers have little experience back on offensive line and will need some young players to step up. On defense Bremond has two starters back on the line, two in the secondary, and one at linebacker. The Tigers had their ups and downs on defense a year ago, giving up nearly 31 points per game. They will need to improve there to contend for a district title in what shapes up to be a tough 12-1A Division II. All three Tiger district opponents made the playoffs and won at least one postseason game a year ago, and Lovelady and Normangee move to 1A Division II after playing in Division I the last two seasons. Playing two of their three district games on the road makes Bremond’s road to the playoffs difficult, but the tradition-rich Tigers should be in the hunt to reach the playoffs for the 26th time at seasons end.
