2025 Season Wrap Up

Quick Note This post was written and posted before the news coming from the football program last night. I would like to wait for any comments from the school or district and refrain from presenting an opinion until more information is provided.



When the final whistle blew on Black Friday and BHP secured their ticket back to the state championship, an electric current of anticipation surged through Belton and Honea Path that would build with remarkable intensity over the following days. The Bears had earned themselves a rematch in Orangeburg, and the prospect of this showdown sparked a level of excitement that transcended typical playoff fervor. This was not just another game; this was the culmination of back-to-back upper-state championships, a second consecutive appearance in the title game, and the tantalizing possibility of completing an undefeated season that would etch this team permanently into the annals of Bear Nation history. The magnitude of what stood before them was so profound, so significant to the fabric of these communities, that school was cancelled to allow everyone the opportunity to be part of this momentous occasion.

Throughout the week leading up to the championship, the excitement rippled through every corner of these tight-knit communities, building with each passing day like rain clouds gathering strength before an inevitable release. The atmosphere reached its crescendo at a massive pep rally that sent the Bears off with an outpouring of support that left no doubt about how much this moment meant to the school Thursday afternoon. Friday morning came fast, though one suspects that precious little sleep was had by players, coaches, or fans alike as minds raced through possibilities and hearts pounded with anticipation. At precisely six o'clock in the morning, the buses departed from the high school, escorted through the main street of Honea Path by police and fire trucks while fans and family lined the route to send their team off with one final show of support. This was Bear Nation at its finest, rallying around their team in a display of unity and pride that perfectly captured what makes high school football so special in these communities.

The two-hour journey south carried the Bears toward their destiny, and upon arrival at the Calhoun County community center, the focus shifted immediately to final preparations. This was where the team would conduct their last-minute walkthroughs, get taped up, and suit up, readying themselves for the contest that awaited. As game time approached, the buses departed for South Carolina State University, arriving just minutes before ten in the morning. The players disembarked and made their way to the field, taking those precious moments to soak in the atmosphere, to visualize the plays they had practiced countless times, to imagine the outcomes they had worked so hard to achieve. From that point forward, there was no more waiting, no more wondering, no more preparation to be done. The moment had arrived, and it was time for the big one that all the pomp and circumstance had been leading toward.



State Title Game



The Bears would begin the game on defense, and what unfolded over those opening twelve minutes would set a tone that gave every fan reason to believe this could be their day. BHP's defensive unit delivered a masterclass performance in that first quarter, playing with an intensity and precision that absolutely stifled the Oceanside offense. The Bears forced a punt on the opening drive, then created a turnover, then forced another punt, establishing a defensive dominance that was nothing short of spectacular to witness. But even as BHP's defense was writing its opening chapter of excellence, the Oceanside defense matched that output with equal determination, forcing a turnover of their own and a pair of punts to keep the scoreboard blank. The elements were asserting themselves as a factor for both teams, not in terms of temperature, which hovered comfortably in the mid to low fifties, but through the rain and wet surface that was making life difficult for both offenses and turning the contest into a defensive struggle.

Everyone understood that holding the Oceanside offense scoreless through an entire quarter was a remarkable feat, a testament to the quality of BHP's defensive preparation and execution. But everyone also understood the precarious nature of that achievement, knowing that this explosive Landshark offense was always just one play away from breaking through and getting on the board. That reality manifested itself on the very first play of the second quarter when Anthony Williams hauled in a forty seven yard touchdown reception that finally cracked the scoreless deadlock. The Bears responded by moving the ball thirty yards on their next possession, showing some offensive promise, but the drive ultimately stalled and BHP was forced to punt. What followed was a sequence that would prove costly, as both teams traded turnovers on their next two drives, neither able to capitalize on the opportunities presented. Then Oceanside put together the kind of methodical, time consuming drive that can break an opponent's spirit, marching fifty six yards over eleven plays while draining six minutes and forty four seconds off the clock. With just a minute remaining in the first half, Terrance Johnson punched it in from two yards out to put the Landsharks up fourteen to nothing heading into the break.

The deficit was two scores, but hope remained very much alive as the teams retreated to their locker rooms for halftime adjustments. BHP's defense had played outstanding football in that first half, limiting a potent offense to just fourteen points despite the challenging conditions. More importantly, the Bears would be receiving the kickoff to start the second half, giving them the first opportunity to shift the momentum and get themselves back into this contest. That opening possession of the third quarter carried significant weight, and BHP moved the ball thirty yards before turnovers struck again at the most inopportune moment. The BHP defense, to their immense credit, refused to let their heads drop, standing strong once more and forcing Oceanside into their third punt of the game. This gave the offense another chance to capitalize, another opportunity to put points on the board and breathe new life into their championship hopes. But in what would become a heartbreaking pattern, the second straight drive ended in a turnover, and the offensive struggles that had plagued the Bears all day continued to mount.

Through three complete quarters, BHP remained scoreless, but their defense continued to battle with remarkable resolve, keeping Oceanside out of the endzone throughout the entire third period. This defensive stand kept the game within reach, kept the possibility of a comeback alive, and demonstrated the championship caliber of this unit that had been so dominant throughout the season. However, as the fourth quarter opened, Oceanside finally capitalized on their field position, driving fifty three yards over thirteen plays to extend their lead to twenty one to nothing. The margin was growing, the clock was becoming an increasingly formidable opponent, and still the Bears could not generate any offensive momentum against a Landshark defense that was playing with supreme confidence. Another BHP drive stalled, another punt was necessary, and then Oceanside delivered what appeared to be the knockout blow with a lightning quick three play, forty eight yard touchdown drive that pushed their advantage to twenty eight to nothing with just over nine minutes remaining in the game.

Both teams exchanged punts on their next possessions, and with time rapidly evaporating, it seemed the story was written and the final chapter would be a disappointing one for the Bears. But just as we have seen from this team throughout the season, just as their character and determination had been demonstrated time and again, they refused to surrender, refused to let this game end without showing one more time what they were capable of achieving. With just over six minutes left on the clock, BHP put together an eighty four yard drive that showcased the offensive potential that had been frustratingly elusive for most of the afternoon. The drive culminated in a spectacular fifty two yard touchdown pass to Tajeh Watson-Martin, finally putting the Bears on the scoreboard and making the final margin twenty eight to seven. It was too little, too late to change the outcome, but it was a statement nonetheless, a refusal to go quietly, a demonstration of pride and perseverance that perfectly encapsulated what this team had been about all season long.

While BHP did not win the game, the level at which they performed, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, deserves recognition and respect. This was a defense that did not give up a first quarter rushing touchdown all season, a defense that did not allow a third quarter passing touchdown throughout their entire campaign, and on this day they limited an explosive Oceanside offense to a degree that showcased their championship quality. The defensive performance was nothing short of extraordinary given the caliber of opponent they faced. On the offensive side, even in a game where scoring proved difficult, Tajeh Watson-Martin emerged as a top performer with five receptions for one hundred and five yards and a touchdown, leading all receivers in the game and demonstrating the playmaking ability that had been such a weapon for the Bears throughout the season. These individual and unit performances, even in defeat, spoke to the quality and competitiveness of this team.



The Aftermath



What happened after the final whistle, unfortunately, may have garnered more attention than the game itself, and there are several important points that need to be addressed with honesty and perspective. Tempers flared in the immediate aftermath, scuffles broke out, and the scene was not what anyone wanted to see following a hard fought championship contest. Many people want to point fingers at the players and make them out to be something they are not, and yes, bad decisions were made on both sides in those heated moments. But we need to step back and consider the full context of what transpired and where accountability truly lies. We ask these young men to play with passion, we demand that they care deeply, we celebrate their emotional investment in their team and their communities, and after such a devastating loss in such a significant game, those emotions overflowed in ways that were regrettable but also understandable. Controlling emotions in the immediate aftermath of such intense disappointment is challenging even for adults, let alone for young athletes who have invested so much of themselves into achieving a goal that slipped away. This should not be viewed as a referendum on these players as people or as a reflection of their character in totality.

More importantly, and this deserves extended discussion that will continue later in this post, the South Carolina High School League must take significant accountability for how the situation was allowed to develop. The way the game ended, with Oceanside being permitted to linger on the home side of the field, with Oceanside students being allowed to sit on the home side, with no clear outlet provided for coaches to get their team off the field quickly and defuse the tension, all of this demonstrates once again the inept leadership that has become a hallmark of the high school league. This was just the latest in a long line of organizational failures that must be addressed, and the SCHSL cannot simply wash their hands of responsibility when their poor planning and lack of foresight creates conditions where conflicts become more likely to occur. The failure to provide proper separation, proper egress, proper crowd control, all of these factors contributed to what unfolded, and that accountability belongs squarely with the adults who are supposed to be managing these events professionally.

Beyond the immediate aftermath, Coach Blackston brought to the forefront an issue that represents a much larger problem within South Carolina high school athletics, and that is the fundamental disparity and truly unfair nature of the advantages that schools like Oceanside have over traditional public schools. This competitive imbalance should be viewed as a black eye on the high school league, and it is a topic that demands serious examination and meaningful reform. After conducting an extensive investigation into public charter schools, their legitimacy, and their oversight, there is plenty to say about both of those topics. As things currently stand, schools like Oceanside, MVP, Christ Church, and many others that are either already operating or will be coming online in the near future, are all functioning within the existing rules. However, those rules create a fundamentally inequitable playing field that gives these institutions advantages that no traditional public school can match, and they exploit athletics in ways that their political rhetoric carefully obscures.

Consider the mathematics and the reality of what Oceanside represents. The greater Charleston area has a population of approximately eight hundred and seventy thousand people, yet only about six hundred and seventy five students attend Oceanside Collegiate Academy. Unlike a traditional public school, Oceanside can artificially limit the number of enrollees, falsely determining their classification in a way that gives them an enormous competitive advantage. A traditional public school would be constrained primarily by physical space but would be legally required to accept all students within their designated zone. Along with maintaining artificially low enrollment numbers, Oceanside also incorporates a lottery system for student selection, and I believe we would all have serious questions about this system, particularly regarding how many talented athletes entered that lottery but did not get selected and vice versa. This lottery system provides perfect cover for what amounts to a recruitment opportunity, not just in football but across all sports, allowing the school to cherry pick talent from across the entire Charleston metropolitan area and surrounding locations.

Even if we were to accept the premise that one hundred percent of Oceanside's student body comes from the greater Charleston area, which seems highly questionable given the patterns we observe, how can the high school league possibly justify or defend the idea that public schools have any legitimate opportunity to compete against this model? Think about it this way, name one single A or double A team that comes from any of the four or five major metropolitan areas in South Carolina. You cannot, because traditional public schools in those areas would have enrollment numbers that place them in much higher classifications. But with just six hundred and seventy five total students, even without applying the multiplier that was supposed to address this very issue, Oceanside gets to compete as if they are a small rural school when in reality they are drawing from a talent pool of nearly a million people. The competitive advantage is so obvious, so blatant, so fundamentally unfair that it borders on absurd.

I am not someone who struggles with losing, as a lifelong Gamecock fan I have certainly had plenty of practice dealing with disappointment. I can accept being outplayed, I can accept being outcoached, I can accept that sometimes the other team is simply better on that particular day. What I cannot accept, what no one with any sense of fairness can accept, is a system that is fundamentally rigged to favor certain schools while leaving traditional public schools to compete with one hand tied behind their backs. Everyone except those directly benefiting from these charter school arrangements can see the injustice that is occurring. I may have perhaps the smallest platform to speak on these issues, but I would be failing this community that I care deeply about if I remained silent in the face of such obvious inequity. This is not about being a sore loser, this is about demanding fairness and calling out a broken system that undermines the integrity of high school athletics in South Carolina, as systems that many hold to be the last true avenue of pure athletics.

This reality leads directly to another critical point about the need for wholesale change at the South Carolina High School League. The current leadership has demonstrated repeatedly that they lack the foresight and analytical ability to create truly equitable outcomes for competition involving public charter schools. The only reason we saw any movement at all in the last realignment was because the unfairness had finally been brought to the forefront in such an undeniable way that even the SCHSL could no longer ignore it. Consider the statistics from the 2023 season, which was the year before the statewide realignment took effect. Private or charter schools won every single state championship in single A and double A across the four major sports with the exception of girls softball. They swept both the single A and double A championships in football, basketball, soccer, and baseball, as well as girls basketball and girls soccer. They also claimed the four A girls lacrosse championship, though that particular sport had such limited participation at the time that the competitive landscape was hardly balanced. That level of dominance, that complete monopoly on championships, finally forced the high school league to acknowledge that something needed to change.

However, the change they implemented was arguably the worst and laziest possible solution they could have devised. At the absolute minimum, they should have looked to Georgia's model, which allows these charter schools to compete for region championships but restricts state title competition to matchups against other private or charter schools. This maintains the opportunity for these programs to compete and succeed while acknowledging the fundamental difference in how they operate compared to traditional public schools. But there are numerous other options that could have been explored, numerous more thoughtful approaches that could have addressed the competitive imbalance while still allowing these schools to participate in meaningful athletics. The SCHSL chose instead to implement a half measure that fails to address the core problem and leaves traditional public schools still facing insurmountable disadvantages.

The problems extend well beyond the charter school issue, though, reaching into the fundamental operations and competence of the high school league itself. The state of South Carolina should be absolutely ashamed of the production level and the abhorrent conditions that players, coaches, and fans are forced to endure at what is supposed to be the pinnacle event of high school football in the state. Having the state championship at South Carolina State University is as far from logical as one can possibly get, and the decision to continue using this venue year after year represents either stunning incompetence, shady backroom agreements, or a complete disregard for providing quality experiences for the participants and spectators. The facility is not centrally located in the state, immediately giving a significant location advantage to lower state teams regardless of where they are traveling from. This geographic bias alone should disqualify the venue from hosting what is supposed to be a neutral site championship.

The actual facilities at the venue are nothing short of disgraceful for an event of this magnitude. On the day of the championship, it rained nearly all day, and at game time there was more standing water in the concourse than in the stands, creating dangerous conditions for any spectator attempting to use the restrooms, purchase concessions, or find a dry area for even a brief moment of respite. To compound this already unacceptable situation, my understanding is that the concession stands were not even open until close to halftime of the BHP game, leaving thousands of fans without access to food or beverages for hours, with ticket prices being more than most lower level college games this is unaccetable. The condition of the locker rooms and press box was nearly laughable if I was not so ashamed that this is how our state chooses to showcase its premier football product. The locker room provided to BHP was worse than most of the visiting facilities they had used during the regular season at opponent schools. The game it self was halted to start because the game clock did not work, and the play clock was never operating during the 3A game.

To add insult to injury, BHP was informed that they needed to pack up the entire locker room at halftime to allow the next team scheduled to play to have access to the space during the second half of the BHP game. Think about that for a moment. The Bears were down at halftime, trying to make crucial adjustments, attempting to keep players warm and dry, working to encourage and motivate their team for what would be the most important twenty four minutes of their season, and they also had to worry about packing up all their equipment because the stadium and its leadership cannot adequately plan for hosting multiple games in a single day. This is bush league operations masquerading as a state championship event. Furthermore, because the team had nowhere to go after the game concluded, Coach Blackston and his staff had no practical way to quickly remove the players from the field and separate them from the developing tensions that erupted in the aftermath. This complete failure to provide adequate facilities and planning directly contributed to the ugly scenes that followed the game.

This organization has become synonymous with incompetence, and at the top of this failed hierarchy sits Dr. Jerome Singleton, the director whose inept leadership became a matter of public record last summer when the State Legislature conducted hearings examining the performance and governance of the high school league. While I am not certain that having the state take over or completely dissolve the SCHSL is necessarily the correct answer, I am absolutely certain that a complete leadership change is essential, along with the removal of everyone who currently works in that department. The problems are too systemic, too deeply embedded, too consistent over time to be fixed by anything less than a wholesale housecleaning and the installation of competent, professional leadership that understands what it means to serve the schools, athletes, and communities that look to them for leadership.

I will be contacting my state representatives Mike Gambrell and Thomas Gilreath to formally request that they make a comprehensive cleanup of the SCHSL and the establishment of true equity in team sports a major priority for the upcoming legislative session. I genuinely believe it will take our collective voices raised in unison to make this an issue that must be dealt with at the state level, because we have seen repeatedly that the SCHSL has no backbone for leadership and is far more concerned with avoiding litigation than with providing the kind of professional, competent governance that our student athletes deserve. I hope each of you reading this will join me in reaching out to our local representatives, or to your own representatives if you live in other parts of the state, and requesting that meaningful reform of high school athletics oversight becomes a focal point of their legislative work. Change will not happen unless we demand it, and we owe it to every future team, every future player, every future community that invests their hearts into high school athletics to fight for a system that is fair and professionally managed.

At the end of the game and in the immediate aftermath, tempers flared both on the field and in the stands as players, parents, and fans all searched for someone to blame, some outlet for their disappointment and frustration. In those raw moments, pointing fingers might provide a temporary emotional release, but it does nothing to demonstrate the resolve and character that truly defines who we are as a community. BHP will be back, you can count on that. BHP will be better, because that is what this program does. It means more to all of us, to these players, to these coaches, to these communities, than words can fully capture. I am asking every member of Bear Nation, everyone who cares about these young men and this program, to come together rather than looking for fault from within. Do not waste energy on internal divisions when there is so much external injustice that deserves our unified focus and outrage.

Instead, celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of this team. They were certainly a Bear team that encompassed everything these two towns stand for. They played with heart, they competed with pride, they represented their communities with distinction, and yes, even when our collective passion overflows in ways we might later regret, it all stems from how deeply we care. I know beyond any doubt that Bear Nation cares for this team, supports these players, and will rally around this program as we move forward. The season did not end the way we hoped, the final game did not produce the result we dreamed about, but the journey this team took us on, the memories they created, the excellence they displayed week after week, these are the things that will endure long after the sting of this defeat has faded. This was a championship caliber team in every sense that matters, and they deserve to be celebrated and remembered as such by everyone who claims to be part of Bear Nation.

Shout Outs



As another season reaches its conclusion, I find myself compelled to do what has become both a privilege and a passion over these years, which is to shine a spotlight on the extraordinary people who transform Friday nights under the lights at BHP into something far beyond mere football games. From the players who leave everything on that field to the quiet heroes working in the press box and countless other corners of this operation, the story of the 2025 Bears simply could not exist without their contributions. So let us take this moment to tip our collective hats and recognize those who made this season possible.

This journey started more than a decade ago when my dad asked for help making it easier to keep stats for the Bears, and back then it was nothing more than numbers on a page, a humble contribution to the game we both loved deeply. But as the years accumulated, an idea began to crystallize in my mind about creating something more substantial, something that would ensure every player, every coach, and every team had a place where their stories were properly told and their achievements celebrated. Recognition is a currency we all crave but rarely receive in adequate measure, so I made it my mission to build a space where the players and coaches who pour their hearts into this game and this program would be acknowledged and honored. Because at BHP, suiting up is not just a commitment for a single season, it represents becoming part of a legacy that extends across generations, and with that understanding firmly in mind, I want to first recognize this team.

This team was not just a collection of talented athletes, they were a family bound together by shared purpose, a force of nature that made everyone who calls Belton and Honea Path home swell with pride week after week. Watching them grind through adversity and leave everything on that field was not merely a privilege, it was genuinely inspiring in ways that transcended typical sports fandom. The senior class established a tone of excellence mixing talent with heart that resonated throughout the entire roster, and the underclassmen matched that intensity with performances that prove they are ready to carry this program's torch forward into the future. What stood out most beyond the statistics and highlight reels was their character, the way they represented not just school colors but embodied the fundamental values of hard work, resilience, and community pride that define these two towns.

Behind every great team stands a phenomenal coaching staff, and Coach Blackston along with his crew have worked tirelessly all season not just to build a winning program but to shape these young men into leaders both on and off the field. I see it every week in how they care for each player, not because of athletic ability or game performance, but because of who these young men are as people. I remain grateful to Coach Blackston and the coaching staff for making guest appearances on The Bear Rumble Podcast, because their willingness to go above and beyond for these players manifests not just on the field but in how they speak about them to other coaches, fans, and anyone who will listen.

Friday nights are not just about players and coaches, they represent a well oiled machine operated by people who rarely receive the spotlight they deserve. The press box becomes a command center at home games where Jimmy Lollis keeps us all organized, Glen Stephens delivers the perfect blend of announcements and humor, Michael McGaha provides the soundtrack to every big moment, and the clock crew of Ronnie King and Mike Bratcher keep everything running precisely on time, all under the watchful eye of Mr. Jody LeCroy. Then there is the voice of the Bears, Joel Kay, working alongside his sons Allen and Chandler to create a family dynamic that brings genuine heart to every broadcast. This season I even had the opportunity again to join them at halftime for stats and analysis, and while I may not have possessed Joel's polished delivery, the experience gave me deeper appreciation for the skill and dedication they bring to their craft every single week.

Behind every great football program stands an athletic department working tirelessly to keep the wheels turning, and at BHP that means Jody LeCroy our Athletic Director and his assistants. Together they orchestrate everything from logistics to troubleshooting, and their work often goes unnoticed despite being absolutely essential, because without them the lights do not come on, tickets are not sold, officials do not arrive, and games simply do not happen. They do this work not because it is merely their job but because they care deeply about the players, coaches, and the entire Bear community. The list extends far beyond these names to include countless volunteers who sell tickets, work concessions, manage equipment, operate cameras, and handle the chain crew, all of them contributing to the tapestry that makes Friday nights so special and memorable.

I also want to extend my gratitude to everyone who participated in the Bear Rumble podcast this season, lending their voices, insights, and time to help tell the story of this program in deeper and more meaningful ways. Your willingness to sit down and share your perspectives added dimensions to our coverage that simply would not have been possible otherwise, and Bear Nation is richer for your contributions.

However, none of this would be possible without my family, the foundation that supports everything I do. This all started with my dad over a decade ago, and we still sit shoulder to shoulder on Friday nights, calling out plays and getting the numbers right. My wife serves as the editor who polishes my words, the sounding board for my ideas, and the encouragement I need when creative block creeps in, all while handling our three wild boys after full weeks of school. And those boys got to experience BHP football again this season, as they begin to understand how special high school football truly is, creating memories that will be cherished in our house forever.

Finally, to Bear Nation, thank you for your energy, enthusiasm, and passion that make this community genuinely special. How you showed up every game was nothing short of powerful, and as much as the players made me proud this season, seeing Bear Fans support them the way you did reinforced why football at BHP is so special. You also supported the social media accounts and podcast I deliver, engaging with posts and sharing your own photos and videos to help create a platform that amplifies these players' achievements and celebrates what it means to be a Bear. Every like, share, and comment helps spread the word and build a legacy one moment at a time.

As the 2025 season comes to an end, I cannot help but reflect on what an incredible ride this has been. This team, this staff, this community have set a standard I will hold every future season to. But as Coach Blackston always says, the best is yet to come, and I cannot wait to see it.

Thanks for a special season, and How Bout Them Bears!
