Bears sweep district openers

BASTROP — The Bastrop Bears boys varsity soccer team opened district play last week in impressive fashion, holding both Cedar Creek and Navarro scoreless while netting a combined six of their own.

Bastrop continued its strong defensive play against Cedar Creek Jan. 27, recording a 2-0 shutout of the Eagles.

Both goals came in the first half, with sophomore Franklin Gutierrez- Martinez and junior Gail Ramirez finding the back of the net. Ramirez also recorded an assist, while freshman goalkeeper Gavin Meraz made five saves for the clean sheet.
