HOUSTON – David Raffield didn't know when it would happen.

When Bridgeland football would be a force to be reckoned with. When the Bears could contend for a playoff spot. When the program that has its first senior class in 2019 could be in the conversation for a district crown.

Apparently, 2019 was the year.

Bridgeland has stormed out of the gates to a 4-0 record overall – setting a new program record for wins in a season after going 3-7 a year ago – and on top of that 2-0 in District 14-6A.

"It's been one of those things, yes we thought we could get here," Raffield said. "When? We didn't set a timetable. We said we are taking no shortcuts and just going to work hard. We're really seeing the kids grow and develop at a very rapid rate in the last few months. It's exciting."

Other notable upcoming matchups include St. Thomas More vs. Neville, Catholic vs. Edna Karr, Brother Martin vs. Jesuit, Evangel vs. West Monroe and Rummel vs. Ruston.

Last year's Division II champion University Lab looks to get back on track this week after back-to-back loses against Neville and Catholic (B.R.). Haughton, alma mater of Dak Prescott, continues to move up the rankings after a strong 3-0 start to the season.
