Boerne took a 38-20 lead into halftime, but the Chargers cut it to 7 points late in the third to make it 41-34, but that’s as close as they would come.

Vs. Alamo Heights
Champion was hoping to split its season series with the Mules after losing to them in the first round, but Alamo Heights ended up pulling off the sweep.
The Chargers held a slim lead late in the game but the Mules used a strong finish to end it and defeat the Chargers, 58-54.
A packed house saw Champion take a 6-point lead over Alamo Heights in the opening stanza, 16-10. The Mules outscored the Chargers in the second quarter, 11-9, but the Chargers still held a 25-21 advantage at the break.
The game turned in the second half when the Mules took the third quarter at 21-13 and entered the final stanza with a 42-38 lead.
The 21 points that AH scored in the third matched what they had tallied in the entire first half and forced the Chargers to play catch-up in the fourth quarter.
Champion scored the first 5 points of the final period. After a 2-point Champion bucket, Gavin Peck banked in a 3 from the top of the key and the Chargers held a 43-42 advantage but the lead didn’t hold for long.
The Mules responded with a 9-3 run, punctuated by a dunk for the 51-46 advantage.
A Braden Burdick 3-pointer cut the gap, and later in the game, a couple of Burdick free throws sliced the lead even further to a single point at 52-51, but that’s a close as the Chargers came to catching the Mules.
Alamo Heights sank a pair of free throws and then a missed 3 by the Chargers led to a fastbreak by the Mules that resulted in an easy bucket and the 56-51 edge.
That 4-0 spurt by Alamo Heights basically put it out of reach since time was winding down. The Mules added 2 more points for the 58-51 lead before the Chargers hit a 3 at the buzzer for the final margin.
