Bears soccer makes postseason history

The Bastrop Bears varsity boys soccer team had a landmark performance last Friday, defeating Splendora, 4-1, at Bellville High School to advance to the fourth round of the playoffs for the first time in program history.

The victory came on the heels of a 2-1 win over Houston Sharpstown in the area round March 24 at Rudder High School in Bryan, continuing a strong postseason run for the Bears. Head coach Gregory Vuagniaux praised his team’s all-around effort during the stretch.

“I felt like the boys, in all three phases that we work on, pulled it all together,” Vuagniaux said. “We have just been playing really as a unit. Whether we go up a goal or are down a goal, we are focused on the next thing, so I’m very proud of the boys.”
