Bears march on to regional round

BRYANT — Two hard-fought playoff victories have propelled the Bastrop boys varsity soccer team into the regional round of the UIL playoffs, surpassing their last postseason run six years ago.

The Bears edged Pflugerville Connally and then held off Sharpstown in a tense penalty shootout Monday night to continue their playoff push.

Bastrop will move on to face either Lake Creek or Port Neches-Groves, with the date and time to be announced later this week.
