What seemed like a promising game for the Bears in the beginning, with Brownsboro taking the lead in the first quarter and proving why they made it to the playoffs in the first place, it quickly diminished when Waco La Vega's defense got a second wind. Even though the game did not end in favor of the Bears (42-7) Brownsboro played their hearts out in the Class AAA Division I bi-district game, and finished the season (6- 5), at Mesquite Memorial Stadium, Saturday, November 15.

The only touchdown of the game for the Bears came on a 54-yard pass from Ryan Owens to Keith Johnson with 4:31 left in the first quarter. Ryan Smith's kick put the score at 7-6 and Brownsboro led well into the second quarter.

The Bears came so very close to another touchdown when Tristain Warren caught a pass from Zach Bailey and ran it into the endzone for a 46-yard TD. This hope was shattered when Warren received a penalty for pass interference and the Bears were moved back 15-yards.
