Head Coach: Kyle Maxfield
@kmaxfield_kyle
📝 2025 Outlook
The Bears enter 2025 with a core of seasoned senior leaders, anchored by third-year QB Brayden Jennings
@braydenjenn5 and elite two-way playmaker DB/WR Zach Czerlinsky
@zczerlinsky, setting the tone on both offense and defense. With a manageable recent record but clear upside, the program under Coach Maxfield looks to turn competitiveness into consistency—even as depth questions linger—positioning themselves to climb the district standings with growth up front and incremental gains on both sides of the ball.
🔥 Things to Like
🔹 Quarterback continuity: Jennings, entering his third season as the leader, brings experience and steady development, aiming to elevate his game further in 2025 will be exciting to watch.
🔹 Two way senior standout: As a senior Czerlinsky, he offers rare versatility posing threats in the passing game and anchoring the secondary as evidenced by his 641 receiving yards and 100 tackles in 2024
🔹 Experienced back seven – Brentwood Christian’s defensive strength starts in the back seven, where multiple proven returners bring production and leadership. Coming off 77 tackles in 2024 LB Esteban Gutierrez
@EstebanG2026 anchors the unit with toughness, while senior Trey Campbell adds speed and playmaking ability in coverage.
🔹 Deep senior presence across positions: The roster is peppered with seniors like Gutierrez, Campbell, FB/DE Luke Weed, CB/WR Gabe Washington, and CB/WR Jack Hansen providing leadership and experience, especially valuable in tight district matchups.
👀 Things to Watch
🔹 Line play and depth coming into focus: Replacing departed linemen like Victor Koncaba and shoring up both lines could be make-or-break for Brentwood Christian’s ability to control games upfront.
🔹 Maintaining offensive rhythm: While QB Jennings shows promise, the teams success depends on reliable protection and the skill group executing in key moments. Keep an eye on Freshmen RB Chigozie Okorafor and senior WR Everett Merrell
@ENM_18 to make an impact as the season progresses.
🔹 Converting experience into results: Translating senior talent into wins against top district opponents will require tightening execution in the red zone and seizing momentum when it matters most.
