Burnet’s soccer teams recently wrapped up pre-district play in the shortest amount of time in the program’s history due to a fully loaded District 25-4A. Nine other teams share the district with Burnet including Austin Achieve, Austin Eastside, Austin Johnson, Austin Northeast, Austin Travis, Georgetown Gateway, Jarrell, Lago Vista, and Florence. Both Burnet’s girls and boys opened district on Tuesday with the Lady Dawgs at home versus Travis while the boys traveled to Austin to face the Rebels.
For their first game of the 2025 season the Bulldog soccer team traveled to Gatesville for competition. The varsity boys had a slow start in their opener and the Hornets were ready to attack. Fortunately, Burnet goalie Roberto Montoya did a great job in goal making eight saves to keep the score to 2-0 Gatesville at the half. With 25 minutes left in the game the Hornets scored on deflection on a corner kick to go up 3-0.
Burnet responded well. Miguel Valdez hit Burnet’s first goal from a tough angle to make it 3-1. Genesis Ceron followed four minutes later with a goal of his own to inch the Bulldogs closer at 3-2. Ceron, Hector Arredondo, and Valdez all had some shots on goal in the final stretch, but the Hornet’s goalkeeper played them well and secured a win for his team, 3-2.
