Boerne High struggled with its outside shooting early in last Friday’s game with Smithson Valley but overcame the slow start to defeat the Lady Rangers in girls basketball, 60-36.
BHS is 8-4 in district and 17-11 overall. They visit Boerne Champion Wednesday and Alamo Heights Friday.
The Lady Hounds are currently tied with Kerrville Tivy for third place in the district with four games left.

Boerne shot 19 percent from the 3-point line in the first half as the shots just weren’t falling like they normally do, but the Lady Hounds shot 47 percent from the 3-point line in the second half to right the ship.
BHS ended up outscoring the Lady Rangers over the last three quarters, 46-19.
Boerne went into halftime with a 31-22 lead and knocked down six 3s in the third quarter to open up a 55-26 advantage at the end of three.
