Chargers win border battle over Laredo United South

LAREDO – Boerne Champion had a few ups and downs in its season opener Thursday in Laredo but when the clock hit 0:00, the Chargers defeated United South, 37-27, to give Blane Ellis his first win as a head coach.

Ellis said it was an emotional roller coaster leading up to the game.

“I’ve been emotional all week because this is the place I’ve wanted to be for a long time and this is the opportunity I’ve wanted for a long time and here it is,” he said. “The win means the world to me; this is my dream job.”
