CUBS FOOTBALL BEGINS PRE-SEASON WORKOUTS

The 2021 Brenham Cubs football team is beginning workouts Monday night as they prepare for the upcoming season.

The Cubs will be working out in shorts and t-shirts for most of the week, before donning pads for Friday’s workouts.

The 2021 Cubs are expected to battle defending district champ Leander Rouse and Georgetown Eastview for the 13/5A DII title.  The Cubs were second in district in 2020, falling in the fog-marred opening round of the playoffs.

The Dave Campbell’s Texas Football preseason Defensive Player of the Year is projected to be Cubs senior defensive back and fourth-year starter Eric Hemphill.

In addition to Hemphill, the Cubs return nine starters on defense.  Among the key returnees: DB, Kaden Watts; DB, Adan Villatoro; DE, Blake Jones; LB, Brandon Ward; LB, Jermaine Johnson; DE, Michael Lewis; DT, Kobe Washington; all of whom were named first or second team All-District.

The Cubs also return quarterback Stephen Stackhouse for a second season at the helm of the Cubs’ offense.  He’s joined in the backfield by returning backs Javon Dixon, Amir Johnson and Trenton Gilbert.  One question mark will be offensive line, where the lone returning starter is Jathynn Bennett.

Brenham’s lone pre-season scrimmage is Friday night, August 20^th, when they travel to Cy Park.

The Cubs open the 2021 season Friday night, August 27 at Magnolia West.  Their 13/5A opener is set for September 24, at home to Leander Glenn.  Cubs Football can be heard throughout the season on KWHI AM-1280, FM 101.7 and www.kwhi.com.
