SAN ANTONIO – Despite a 29-point effort from Gavin Peck, the Boerne Champion boys basketball team fell to Warren Monday at Northside Sports Gym, 60-58.
Champion is 1-1 and entered in the Harlandale Tournament that started Thursday.
Warren had a fast start and dropped in 21 points in the first quarter for the 21-16 lead.
The Warriors outscored the Chargers in the second, 14-11, and took a 35-27 lead into halftime.
Champion won the third quarter 13-12, and it was a 47-40 lead for the Warriors going into the final stanza.
Warren heated up in the fourth quarter and was up by as many as 11 points, but the Chargers mounted a comeback.
They cut it to six points with 3:03 left and from there, Champion whittled the lead to two points at 58-56 with 13.7 seconds.
A Warren player was fouled and went to the foul line where he made two free throws and bumped their lead to 60-56 with 7.2 ticks left on the clock.
After the free throws, Gavin Peck pushed the ball down the court and launched a 3-pointer and was fouled with 2.5 seconds remaining.
Peck had 27 points at that point and made his first two free throws and it was 60-58, but he missed his third free throw on purpose in hopes the Chargers could grab the rebound and either tie it or win it with a bucket at the buzzer, but the Warriors rebounded and ran out the clock to secure the victory.
