The Montgomery Bears and the Brenham Cubs will meet on Friday for a tough Bear Battle. Montgomery's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for five straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Last Tuesday, Montgomery didn't have quite enough to beat College Station and fell 2-1. While losing is never fun, the Bears can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 315th, while the Cougars are ranked 151st).
Montgomery's goal came courtesy of Lukas Hosler, who's now up to five this season.
Meanwhile, Brenham was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fourth straight loss. They lost 5-2 to College Station.
Brenham's defeat dropped their record down to 4-10. As for Montgomery, they now have a losing record of 6-7.
Montgomery was able to grind out a solid win over Brenham when the teams last played back in January, winning 2-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Montgomery since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
