Aledo defeats Denton in PKs

After a 2-2 tie following overtime, the Bearcats knocked off the Broncos 4-3 in a shootout during their Class 5A D1 bi-district game at Eagle Mountain HS in Fort Worth.
Aledo (20-3-2), which hasn’t lost a game since Jan. 13, will play Joshua in the area round.
Harrison Kear scored a goal and assisted on one by Trapper Davis during regulation. Robby Sloan had the other assist. Meanwhile, in the shootout, the Bearcats got scores from Kear, Davis, Kyle Storck and Erik Soltow.
