Saturday 9/28

Oh man, what a night to be a Boerne football fan… let’s start with history… Boerne Greyhounds on the road playing their first ever 5A district game… and they draw Alamo Heights. Boerne was hanging in there with a tough Mules team, and we were tied 21-21 at the half… Hank Hendrix and the offense doing what they do best with good defense to follow. Until the end of the game when Boerne scored and it was time to kickoff…. with a minute left, the onside is unsuccessful, and Alamo Heights escapes with the victory 35-28. Greyhounds are now 2-3 and 0-1 in district. 

Champion had their homecoming game and second district game last night. I don’t even know where to start in describing this game, but as Greg Simmons put it on our Boerne Radio broadcast, it was an offensive “slugfest!” Both teams were doing back and forth offensively with long passes, slant routes, and the two QBs Dailey from Seguin, and Navarette from Champion were taking chances. At the half, Champion was up 52-37… for a combined 89 points scored. That wouldn’t stop in the second half, and we were tied at 52 in the 3rd… Navarette took a shot to the leg that prompted Garland Whitehead to play backup QB, and with a Seguin hot streak of scoring, Navarette got back out there and tied it up, but they found themselves trailing… and it came down to a 4th and 10, but Navarette threw it right into a bat down. Final was 73-66, Seguin held on against Champion on homecoming night in what was a VERY competitive ball game. Chargers are now 3-2, and winless in district.

Good news is both teams get a much-needed bye week, and we pick up where we left off in 2 weeks on October 11.
