Champion boys soccer team closes out season last Friday

The soccer season came to an end for the Boerne Champion boys last Friday at home against Buda Johnson.

The Chargers and Jaguars played to a 3-3 tie to leave Champion at 6-9-5 overall and 5-8-3 in 26-5A. Champion went into the final week of the season and had to win both games last week to have a chance at the postseason, but it lost to Kerrville on Tuesday, and that sank any chance.

“They knew it came down to Tivy, that was the biggest one right there,” Chargers coach Clifton Tierney said. “We were tied 1-1 at the half and when our senior centerback goes down, he was a guy we didn’t have to replace all season long. At that point we kind of got exposed a little bit. They understood the situation and understood what it meant.”
