City Council District 2 Election Forum - April 12 2023

How Boerne Made History and Played on Their Field of Dreams

A conversation with Tim Christ, author of the book chronicling the 2024 Boerne Little League team's historic run to the Little League World Series.

Tim Christ shares the full story — from how the team was assembled by GM Justin Newsom and league president Chris Carey, to steamrolling through districts, upsetting powerhouse McAllister Park, winning in Abilene and Waco, and ultimately reaching Williamsport. He covers the experience on the ground, the community support, the US Championship game against Florida, and the legacy the team left behind.

Boost Boerne Business - St John's Lutheran Church Wild Game Dinner  April-4-2026

Boerne Radio Sports brought to you by the Carlson Law Firm.

Teams played their games a little early this week because of the Easter weekend. Boerne Champion baseball defeated Pieper 8-5 after also winning on Tuesday against the Warriors. Champion is 2 for 2 this week. And the first of two softball meetings between the Greyhounds and Chargers happened last night- Champion was the victor in this one, 5-1.

And Brady Chandler of Geneva will be competing in the pole vault competition of the Texas Relays from Mike A. Myers Stadium at UT. He will do so at 1:30, best of luck to him. 

Speaking of UT, the women’s Final Four is tonight. They face UCLA with a chance to go to the national championship tonight around 8:30. 

Boerne Radio Sports is delivered to you by The Boerne Star and protected by The Carlson Law Firm on South Main across from Raisin’ Canes…personal injury Attorneys who serve Boerne with Compassion.  CarlsonAttorneys.com.
