Jefferson, Bears prowl past Wildcats 62-6

Playing at Wildcat Stadium last week came naturally for Bastrop running back Gary Jefferson Jr.

The senior suited up in Wildcat purple before transferring to the Bears this fall. Jefferson rushed for a game-high 154 yards and four touchdowns on just 11 carries, leading Bastrop to a decisive 62-6 win over Elgin Oct. 24.

Bastrop (8-0, 5-0 in district) showcased defensive talent, limiting Elgin (1-7, 1-4 in district) to just 81 total offensive yards and seven first downs. The Wildcats were held scoreless until sophomore running back Dae’Ron Traylor punched in a three-yard touchdown with 29 seconds left.
