Bridgeland defense flexing muscles
Cypress Ranch was once the big boy on the block in the Cy-Fair ISD, but the Bridgeland Bears are the new kids with a fancy new car.
The Bears beat Cy Ranch 29-17 on Thursday night at Cy-Fair FCU Stadium to take the pole position for District 16-6A as we go week-to-week with COVID-19. It was 24-0 at the half as the Bears cruised late.
Hear are the Big 5 Takeways from Thursday night's game.
1. Bridgeland QB Weigman is the Truth
Conner Weigman accounted for 297 yards of offense with his arm and feet. He is football IQ is off the charts. He did take off too early to run on a few plays tonight.
VYPE Postgame: Caught up with winning QB @ConnerWeigman who finished passing for 207 yards and a score and rushed for 90 more and a score in the Bears win. #txhsfb @CyFairISD @ray_zepeda1 @Perroni247 @hunter15wallis @GoffneyDylan @BridgelandCFISD @VarsityWires pic.twitter.com/G8QRy6Q2IQ

2. Bear Defense has Some Teeth
Daniel Grigsbee, Bryce McMorris, Gavan Kaspar and Oghenemine Imarah get after it on defense. Imarah leads the charge up front with an extremely high motor. The LB and DBs are really good as well.
TURNOVER ALERT 🚨: The first turnover of the game comes at the perfect time for @BridgelandFB as @DanielGrisbee nails Cy Ranch QB DJ Ciers as he goes to throw and @CMOTS_1202 is right there for the pick!! Momentum back to the Bears!! #txhsfb @ConnerWeigman @hunter15wallis pic.twitter.com/Nfji6ekbfJ

3. Too Little Too Late
Cypress Ranch couldn't get the offense going AT ALL in the first half. No protection, no running game and QB DJ Ciers was 2 for 4 for 14 yards and had 0 yards rushing on 10 attempts in the first half. The WRs couldn't get much separation either. The second half got better outscoring Bridgeland 17-5 after halftime. Ciers finished 8 of 14 for 151 yards and a score and rushed for 77 yards and a score.
TOUCHDOWN MUSTANGS: Watch out here comes @cyranchfootball as QB @djciers runs this one in from six yards. Cuts the Bears lead down to 12. #txhsfb

4. Does Bridgeland have Staying Power in the Postseason?
Doing a little prognostication, with the Bears winning district and being the No. 1 DII team, they would possibly face Klein Collins then Westfield in Round 2. Pretty tough route.
5. Romario Noel Looks the Part
Cypress Ranch DB Noel is huge and the Bears didn't challenge them much on his side of the field. The Baylor-commit was also pretty good on supporting the run.
