Bastrop (18-13) won twice as many games as they did in 2008-2009, and will return all five starters next season.
On Tuesday, Bastrop came back from a four-point halftime deficit and whipped up on Connally in the second half, outscoring the Cougars 36-28.
Josiah Monroe led Bastrop with 17 points while Jordan Roach had 15.
Bastrop also got 11 points from Chris Clark, who was playing in his second game on the varsity team.
