Boerne girls are proving to be road warriors, BHS boys soccer match vs. Apaches is cancelled

The Boerne High girls soccer team hasn’t played a match in Boerne this year — at least during the regular season — but it doesn’t seem to matter as the Lady Greyhounds have proven to be road warriors.

Boerne High is undefeated this year at 8-0-1 with all nine matches on the road. Not only that, but BHS has not given up a goal during that time.

Their latest victim came Tuesday when they took on Kennedy in San Antonio and shot down the Lady Rockets, 7-0.

Other than one scrimmage at BISD Stadium before it was shut down for a slight remodel and another scrimmage at Champion, everything else has involved the Boerne girls getting on a bus and traveling somewhere.

The bus rides will continue for a while too since BHS is on the road for its next three. They had a long trip Friday and were at Laredo LBJ.

After that, they’ll play two more on the road, the next one at Cornerstone and after that at Fredericksburg to open district.

Their first match in Boerne (at Charger Field) won’t be until Feb. 9 when they host Davenport.

In Tuesday’s match, Mahaley Merkins finished with 2 goals, while Avery Ukeiley, Anna Darling, Sophia Namvar, Sadie Parker and Bella Pettet all tallied single goals.

Boerne boys

The Boerne boys were scheduled to play Wednesday night against Antonian at Champion High School but the players never made it onto the field after the weather didn’t cooperate and the match was cancelled because of lightening over the Hill Country skies.

The Chargers girls match held before that didn’t make it until the end after it was called with roughly 10 minutes left. The skies opened up and it poured, so the players from BHS and Antonian went into the locker rooms at Champion and the match was called after radar showed the area was due for a heavy pounding of the wet stuff for the next several hours.

The match with the Apaches will not be made up and the Greyhounds aren’t scheduled to play again until Monday when they host New Braunfels at Champion.

It’ll be two weeks between matches for the BHS boys after a couple of cancellations and weather events.
