Eagles look to break losing streak at home

The Cedar Creek Eagles varsity football team is gearing up for its season opener against the Del Valle Cardinals Thursday, Aug. 28, at 7 p.m. at Bastrop Independent School District Stadium. 

The Eagles will look to snap a 35-game losing streak, with their last victory coming in a 14-6 win over Elgin during the 2021-22 season. First-year head coach Jared Shaw is aiming to change that narrative and set a new tone for the program.

Cedar Creek will have to flip the script against the Cardinals after falling 54-21 in last year’s season opener. The challenge will be even tougher without last season’s starting quarterback, Blake Orr, who transferred to Lockhart in the offseason, and top wide receiver Dakota Baker, who graduated in the spring.
