Central stays unbeaten in soccer

NEDERLAND - The Central boys soccer team just refuses to lose.

The will of the Jaguars was tested on Tuesday in a District 20-4A contest against Nederland, but in a game that was scoreless for the first 51 minutes, Central grinded out a 2-1 victory.

The Jaguars extend their undefeated run - the longest in school history - to 14-0, and with Tuesday's win at Bulldog Stadium, Central has clinched a playoff spot with four games remaining.

"We're playing one game at a time and that's what their (the players) goal is-to win district and go undefeated in district," said Central coach Tony Cox, whose team is 13-0 in district play.

Central's Alejandro Jiminez kicked in the game's first score from left of the net with 28:21 on the clock in the second half.

Jose Ruiz then scored on a header 17 minutes later to push the Jaguars' lead to 2-0.

The Bulldogs' lone goal of the night came on a slicing kick by Hector Garcia with 5:34 remaining in the contest.

Both teams fought aggressively the rest of the way, but the Central defense - anchored by goalie Luis Cerron - kept Nederland from converting another goal.

"We're playing well right now," Cox said. "I knew Nederland was going to play well, and that's the big thing. We're in the playoffs now, and now we can worry about winning district."

Nederland, which drops to 8-5-1 in district, entered Tuesday's contest with the fourth-best record in 20-4A. The Bulldogs will play host to Ozen on Friday and play at Vidor next Tuesday.

The Jaguars, who also beat Nederland on Feb. 1, will play host to Vidor at Babe Zaharias Stadium on Friday.

"Vidor is a good team," Cox said. "They're going to come out and play hard against us. We're on top so they want to knock us off. It will be a good game."

    • What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "
