Boerne boys
Boerne’s Hudson Vickery had the only goal of the match Wednesday afternoon and it came early in the contest, near the 14th minute on an unassisted goal from about 60 yards out. What made it special for Vickery was that it’s his birthday.
Boerne girls
The Boerne High girls advanced to the 4A state finals after the Lady Greyhounds defeated Salado in overtime Wednesday.
Boerne took the 1-0 lead on an Avery Ukeiley unassisted goal at the 8:39 mark from 20 yards out. It stayed there until late in the match when Salado’s Shelby Hollywood tied it with less than six minutes remaining in regulation after she scored an unassisted goal in the 74th minute.
It went to overtime and the only goal came from the foot of Kailey Stringfellow who took the Sophia Namvar pass and knocked it in at the 88:15 mark. They still had to play a second overtime period but Boerne’s defense held.
The goal the Lady Greyhounds gave up in Wednesday’s semifinals match was the only one allowed during regulation or overtime so far in the postseason.
