CEDAR CREEK — The Bastrop Lady Bears know their opponent thanks to the Bowie Lady Bulldogs.
Bowie defeated Bastrop 2-0 Friday night at BISD Memorial Stadium in the teams final regular season game.
The loss guarantees a playoff matchup with Class 5A’s No. 1 team — the San Antonio Reagan Lady Rattlers. A team all too familiar to the Lady Bears.
This time around, however, Bastrop will get Reagan on its home turf in a playoff game scheduled for March 23 at 6:30 p.m. at BISD Memorial Stadium.
On senior night Friday, Bastrop looked as though it was going to control the pace of the game, holding Bowie without a shot in the first 14 minutes of the first half.
Once the Lady Bulldogs broke through a tough Lady Bear defense led by senior Kerri Kelley, Bowie took control of the game.
Jaclyn Ramierz scored with 2:34 left in the first half to give the Lady Bulldogs a 1-0 lead.
Kelley saved a sure Bowie goal in the 48th minute of the game, heading it out of the goal, but Bowie would find the back of the net one more time with 22:26 left in the game.
Bastrop had its opportunities, but just couldn’t find its way into the net.
