Abilene Cooper downs Bearcats in overtime
A scoreless match went to shootout when the Aledo Bearcats hosted Abilene Cooper in Aledo's District 4-5A finale Monday night at Bearcat Stadium, and after the extra session Cooper grabbed the victory, winning the shootout, 4-3.
The Bearcats - who earned a point in the standings with the OT loss - finish the district slate with a 4-3-1 record and are in third place behind Wichita Falls Rider. Aledo has clinched a playoff berth.
The Bearcats will draw a bye on the final date of district play and will not know their seeding - which will be the second or third seed - until after district play ends on March 17.
In the shootout, Aledo's Tommy Breaux, Tyler Oetinger and Clay Murador each scored in the penalty-kick-style shootout, but Cooper also scored on its first three shots.
In the fourth round of the shootout, the Bearcats hit the goal post, and Cooper scored for a 4-3 lead after the end of four rounds.
Needing a goal to extend the game, fate was not on Aledo's side as another shot bounced safely off the post giving the Cougars (2-5) the win.
