Bellville Brahmas Gear Up for 2025 Season After a Stellar Run!

In the vibrant town of Bellville, the excitement is palpable as the local high school football team, the Brahmas, sets its sights on the upcoming 2025 season. Following a successful season last fall, where they clinched the District 11-4A Division II title, the team is ready to tackle the new challenges that lie ahead. Although their postseason ended on a bittersweet note with a second-round loss to Silsbee, the Brahmas still flaunt an impressive record of 8-4 for the 2024 season, showcasing their competitive spirit!

From Champions to Rebuilding: The Journey Ahead

Just the previous year, in 2023, the Brahmas experienced a remarkable run, achieving a fantastic record of 15-1 and making it all the way to the state finals. This kind of success has become a trend for the Brahmas, who saw double-digit wins in both 2023 (15), 2022 (11), and 2011 (12). Even the years of 2019 and 2020 were strong, with each season racking up nine wins. It’s safe to say that the Brahmas are no strangers to victory!

As they gear up for the 2025 season, the team will have to shake things up a bit due to some significant player departures. Among those leaving are standout talents like running back DD Murray, the district MVP who has moved on to Arkansas State, and defensive lineman DJ Sanders, who was the district’s defensive MVP and has now transferred to Texas A&M. Additionally, edge rusher D’Ante Keys has headed to Texas State. It’s definitely a changing of the guard!

Rising Stars Returning: A New Generation of Talent

But it’s not all doom and gloom for the Brahmas! They’re equipped with a talented core ready to step up. Returning are several all-district players from last season, including junior running back Kendrick Turner, junior guard JaKorey Lewis, and sophomore tight end Layne Grawunder, all of whom made a mark with their impressive performances. Coach and fans alike will be looking to these players for leadership as the team moves forward.

The defensive lineup looks promising too, featuring junior defensive tackle Brogan Stoner, junior defensive back Will Grebe, and sophomore defensive back Don Gillum. Not to forget junior linebacker Adarius Hutchinson, who has shown great potential on the field. With this mix of returning talent, there’s plenty of hope for the Brahmas to continue their legacy of success!

Get Ready for an Exciting Schedule!

As the countdown to August begins, fans are polishing their horns and gathering their jerseys for the season opener. Mark your calendars! The Brahmas will kick off the 2025 season with a thrilling matchup against state champion Celina at Midway on August 29. That’s just the start! Their non-district lineup also features tough opponents such as the state champions from Columbus and a Hitchcock team that secured 10 wins last season. It’s sure to be a challenge, but that’s what makes football exciting, right?

As the rest of the schedule unfolds, which includes games against Stafford, Fort Bend Crawford, and La Grange, the Brahmas will also enjoy a nice break with a BYE week on October 3. Home games will be played at the famously tough stadium known as the Pasture of Pain. It’s sure to bring in exciting matchups and create unforgettable memories for both players and supporters in the stands.

A Bright Future for the Brahmas

On top of all this, the Brahmas are also seeing some individual achievements; one of their players, @bellville_rowe, recently announced receiving his first Division I offer from UTEP. It’s thrilling to see emerging talent gain recognition on a larger scale!

As the fall approaches, all eyes will be on Bellville—where the Brahmas are ready to take the field and show everyone what they’re made of. Who knows? This could be another fantastic season where they make waves in Texas high school football. Go Brahmas!
