Boerne boys beat up Battlin’ Billies

The Boerne High boys basketball team is still a work in progress but that didn’t stop the Hounds from walloping longtime rival Fredericksburg Friday at Greyhound Gym, 74-36.

The Boerne High boys basketball team is still a work in progress but that didn’t stop the Hounds from walloping longtime rival Fredericksburg Friday at Greyhound Gym, 74-36.

With the win, BHS improves to 19-5 overall and 4-0 in district. They have a tough week and tangled with Davenport Tuesday and an upstart Bandera team that just beat Davenport on Friday.

Most teams have set rotations by this part of the season but because the Greyhounds didn’t get five football players added to the team until late December because of their state championship game on Dec. 16, McHone said they’re still working on rotations and team chemistry.

“Our starters are set but our rotation is not really set. I think we may never have a rotation; it may just be ‘what do we need at this moment?’ Everybody has to be ready,” McHone said. “I think this was Koen’s (Wolff) ninth game and Houston’s (Hendrix) eighth game. I think most guys play that in the first week of the season.”

The Hounds were up 19-4 after one, but Fred picked up the pace in the second for their best quarter of the night with 15, however Boerne still outscored them, 18-15, for the 37-19 halftime lead.

BHS blew it open in the third by winning the quarter, 23-4, to open up a 60-23 advantage.

McHone was moving players in and out in the second half, but the Hounds still outscored the Billies in the fourth quarter, 14-13.

Trevor Agarwal shot it well and finished with 23 points and made four 3-pointers, Barrett Pape scored all 12 of his points in the first half. Houston Hendrix added 11 and hit a 3 in the opening period, Koen Wolff tallied 8, Jaxon Baize netted 5, Colton Hoegemeyer and Jeffrey Brown had 4 points apiece, Luke Fox scored 3 and Hutson Hendrix and Sam Holland both chipped in with 2 points.

“We did some things we needed to do like finishing around the rim, running better, being more precise and running our offense better. I thought we saw those things tonight,” McHone said. “It was a good game, we improved from last week.”
