Boerne Champion visited Kerrville Tivy for a key district girls basketball game on Saturday afternoon. Both the Lady Chargers and Lady Antlers have earned playoff spots but seeding for the postseason was up for grabs in Saturday’s tussle.

The Comfort boys basketball team hosted Llano Saturday night and the Bobcats picked up a huge district win after they beat the Yellowjackets by a dozen points, 52-40.

The Comfort girls basketball team solidified its grip on the No. 3 spot in District 25-3A by holding off the Llano Lady Jackets Saturday night in Comfort.

The Roy Maas Youth Alternatives has a new addition to its Meadowlands location in Boerne, thanks to The Rotary Club of Fair Oaks Ranch. The local community service organization contributed a professional golf putting green for the 42-acre campus. The putting green is expected to help bring golf therapy to RMYA children, develop social skills, build self-confidence and learn a life-long talent. The green campaign was initiated by Rotarian Charles Pearson and was the largest service project undertaken by the FOR Rotary Club in its 10-year history. Pictured above are RMYA Chief Development Officer Gail Ribalta, left, and CEO Blair Thompson, right, joining Pearson and FOR Rotary President Greg Maxton in accepting a check reflecting the cost of the new putting green.
