In what may go down as one of the most exciting games of the season, the Tom Bean Tomcats emerged victorious in a 47-38 district showdown against the Tioga Bulldogs on Friday night. With early playoff implications and potential district championship stakes on the line, the Tomcats stayed focused, poised, and confident! Delivering another statement win in front of an electric home crowd!

From the opening whistle, it was clear this was going to be a track meet. Both offenses traded blows in a fast-paced, high octane affair that kept fans on their feet. But while Tioga brought plenty of firepower, it was Tom Bean’s discipline, execution, and composure that proved to be the difference.

The Tomcat offense was unstoppable, piling up 477 total yards! 316 yards through the air and 161 yards on the ground. Quarterback Donnie Hooten was nearly flawless, completing 37 of 47 passes (79%) for 316 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception.

His top targets were outstanding, Brayden Bomar hauled in 15 receptions for 144 yards and a touchdown. Camden Stephens added 10 catches for 90 yards and 2 scores. Dyson Farris, Maguire Poole, Slayton Farris, and Dallas Peavey each contributed key plays to keep drives alive.
On the ground, Dallas Peavey was a force, carrying 13 times for 128 yards and a touchdown.

Defensively, the Tomcats bent but didn’t break and came up with huge plays when they needed them most. Despite giving up 598 total yards, the defense made game-changing plays all game. Forcing two interceptions, one fumble recovery, two tackles for loss, and two turnover on downs that flipped momentum at key moments.
The defensive effort was anchored by Ryan Dearmond (10 tackles, 1 QB pressure), Tatum Hanson (9 tackles, 1 INT), and Dallas Peavey (8 tackles, 2 QB pressures, 1 forced fumble). Brayden Bomar and Chase Stratton each added 8 tackles, while Jacob Lind added 7 tackles and a game ending pass deflection that led to an interception. Dyson Farris came up big in the secondary with an interception and 5 tackles.

With the win, the Tomcats improve to 6-0 overall and 2-0 in district, keeping their sights firmly set on a district title. The victory also marked another shining moment for Tomcat Nation, whose crowd packed the stands and made their presence known from the first snap to the last.
