In honor of the Boerne Greyhounds celebrating 100 years of football in 2024, the Boerne Star will go back through its archives and publish something in every weekend’s issue during the regular season relating to the Boerne High football team from over the years. The Oct. 9, 1952, issue of the Star contained an article about Lt. Gordon Leesch being killed in action on Sept. 30, 1952, during the Korean War. Leesch played football for the Hounds and later attended Texas A&M before being called to active duty. The BMSN stadium, formerly the high school stadium, is named after him. It was named after him almost immediately after his death at the age of 23. Today there is a plaque of Leesch at the stadium entrance.
