The BHS girls won in a battle of state-ranked teams as the No. 3 ranked Lady Greyhounds basketball team defeated the No. 2 ranked Battlin' Billies, 46-34, in Fredericksburg on Friday.
Boerne improves to 24-1 overall and Fred drops to 25-3. Boerne is 6-0 in district and begins the second round Tuesday, while Fred drops to 5-1 in district. Fredericksburg visits Boerne on Feb. 7 for the second-round rematch.
The Lady Greyhounds led from start to finish on Friday and went up 11-0 midway through the first quarter. Fred closed it to two at 20-18 after a 9-2 run in the second quarter, but that's as close as they came to catching the Lady Hounds.
Boerne took a 29-25 edge into the break and then extended the lead to 42-29 by the end of the third thanks to a 7-0 spurt to finish the quarter for its biggest lead of the game at 13 points.
From there, BHS went into stall ball to kill the clock. They went the first seven minutes without a point until they were fouled and sent to the line where they went 4 for 4 in the final minute to seal the victory. Fredericksburg only tallied 5 points in the final period since Boerne drained the clock so well and didn't leave the Battljn' Billies a lot of scoring opportunities.
