Boerne couldn't quite get over the hump in the second half of a hard-fought 49-47 loss to Sunnyvale in the UIL Class 4A State semifinals in the Alamodome on Friday afternoon.
– Boerne battled until the very end. Their efforts just weren’t quite enough to secure their first win in the UIL State tournament.
Sophomore Jenna Ruede and junior Averi Aaron each posted a team-high 14 points, but the Greyhounds couldn’t quite get over the hump in the second half of a hard-fought 49-47 loss to Sunnyvale in the UIL Class 4A State semifinals in the Alamodome on Friday afternoon. Boerne finishes their remarkable season with a 35-2 overall record.
Both teams traded the lead throughout the first quarter. After Sunnyvale senior Micah Russell hit a three-pointer with 28 seconds left on the clock, Jenna Ruede answered with a free-throw line jumper that sent Boerne into the second quarter trailing 11-10.
Junior Abby Smith scored the first basket of the second half and Aaron followed that up with another layin to give Boerne a 21-20 advantage. But Russell capped a 9-0 Sunnyvale run with yet another three-pointer, and the Lady Raiders took their largest lead of the contest up 29-21. Boerne wasn’t done fighting. Jamie Ruede came up with a clutch steal and finished on the other end with a layin before the buzzer sounded, and the Greyhounds trailed 30-25 entering the final minutes of regulation.
