The Bastrop Bears will take on the Anderson Trojans at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Bastrop is headed into the contest without a loss and will look to keep things rolling. They never let Crockett onto the board and left with a 1-0 win on Saturday. Given the Bears' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 63rd, while the Cougars are ranked 762nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Bastrop's one-goal win came courtesy of Jacob Ellis, which was the first he's scored this season.
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Anderson was forced to settle for a draw. Neither they nor McCallum could gain the upper hand on Wednesday so the two teams had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Anderson was without their leading scorer, Dax Popelka, in Wednesday's game. With Popelka sidelined, Hugo Sanchez-Lopez got his first action of the season.
Bastrop has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 10-0-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up two goals over those six contests. Anderson's draw makes their record 3-4-1 this season.
Bastrop came up short against Anderson when the teams last played back in January of 2021, falling 4-2. Can Bastrop avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
