2026 Bastrop Bears Football season
In this interview with Mike Forman, head coach Jake Griedl of the Bastrop Bears provides an exciting look ahead at the team's 2026 season, centering on a talented and tight-knit senior class embarking on their "last ride" after five years under Griedl's leadership. The discussion highlights a program whose team culture has matured from an active rebuilding focus into an visible standard represented daily by the players and coaching staff. Rather than chasing an easy record, Griedl has deliberately scheduled a grueling five-game non-district slate—including matchups against Montgomery Lake Creek and Brenham—to prepare his team for their ultimate goal: pushing past last year's third-round Thanksgiving appearance and playing deep into December. To achieve this, the Bears will debut an aggressive, attacking defensive scheme under experienced new defensive coordinator Brett Paige, with Griedl emphasizing that staying healthy and establishing dominant, physical play on both the offensive and defensive lines will be the ultimate keys to unlocking their explosive offense.
