Baldwyn football player Braxton Stewart dismissed after felony arrest

Braxton Stewart, a 19-year-old defensive lineman for Baldwyn, has been dismissed from the football team following his arrest on felony charges. He faces two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from an incident last week involving a group of juveniles. Stewart allegedly used a handgun during the altercation, though no shots were fired. The police arrested him in Baldwyn on August 17, and he was released on bond the following day. This incident marks a significant loss for the Baldwyn Bearcats, who are already dealing with another player's summer transfer. The team will begin its 2026 season at home against Kossuth on Thursday.
