BEARVILLE — “That was a tough, physical, brutal football game.”

The statement from second- ranked Pierce County head coach Ryan Herring came minutes after telling the Brooks County players and coaching staff he had “the utmost respect for Brooks County” and saying he expected to see them playing Game 15 in Atlanta.

The Bears (5-0) got all they could handle from the Class A DII fifthranked Trojans (1-4) Friday night on Rec Night, winning 28-16 behind the four-touchdown performance of junior running back Jae’Veon Williams.
