The 20th anniversary season of Bishop Brossart football officially gets underway Friday night at the MAC when the Mustangs host the Walton-Verona Bearcats in the regular-season opener.
Both squads enter the matchup riding positive momentum from their preseason tune-ups. Brossart closed out exhibition play with a sharp defensive effort against Class 5A Scott, controlling possession and picking off two passes courtesy of Landen Ketron and Quinten Tischner. Walton-Verona made a statement of its own, dispatching Pendleton County 20-6 across three varsity quarters.
Key Matchups and Storylines
- Mustang Milestone Chase: Head Coach Jake Martin, a 2017 BBHS alum taking the reins for his first season, enters with the program sitting at 100–105 all-time. Flipping the historical record over the .500 mark begins with protecting home turf in Week 1.
- Spaulding vs. The Bearcat Linebackers: Senior quarterback Landon Spaulding (2,076 yards, 18 TDs in 2025) orchestrated two 30-yard completions against Scott and looks in midseason form. He will be tested by Walton-Verona’s inside linebacker tandem of AJ Yutze (122 tackles) and Cooper Burch (98 tackles, 14.5 TFL), who combined for 220 stops a year ago.
- Containing “Lynn-sanity”: Walton-Verona’s offensive catalyst Drew Lynn (744 rush yards, 14 TDs in 2025) provides a multi-threat challenge alongside new starting quarterback Braxton Parr. Brossart’s front seven—anchored by senior linebacker Quinten Tischner (92 tackles in 2025) and reigning Class 1A District Lineman of the Year Beckett Meersman—will look to bottle up the Bearcat rushing attack early.
- Fast Starts: The Bearcats are aiming to reverse a recent trend of slow season debuts under third-year coach Gary Pence, while the Mustangs look to establish the physical tone that defined their scrimmages.
