The Pilot Point Bearcats varsity football team opened the 2026 season with a bang, beating the No. 12 pre-season ranked Peaster Greyhounds 21-14 on Aug. 28.
The Bearcats relied on explosive plays from their offense and opportunistic plays on defense to get the win at home.
“We played on some great effort tonight,” said Chad Worrell, Pilot Point athletic and head football coach. “We knew conditioning was going to be a factor in the first game, and we had players cramping up coming out in the second half, but [Peaster] started cramping too, so it was mainly about survival at the end there; both teams were on their heels. Our offense did their job in the first half, and our defense stepped up and closed it out for us.”
