The Boerne Champion girls basketball team put up quite a fight against Smithson Valley Friday night at Charger Gym, but the Lady Rangers still emerged with a 58-66 victory.
Champion knocked 11 3-pointers in the game, but a six-point second quarter hurt as the Lady Rangers were in double digits all four quarters.
Champion slips to 1-1 in district and is 8-9 overall. They were at Alamo Heights Tuesday and host Boerne High Friday.
Sage Ramsey had a great game for the Chargers and hit seven 3-pointers to finish with a game-high 21 points.
Chargers coach Jason Sanders said the effort was there from Ramsey and the rest of the team, but they didn’t win against a very good Rangers team.
“The kids played their hearts out,” he said. “Smithson Valley is 15-3.”
The Rangers were up 29-18 at halftime, but the Chargers caught fire in the third quarter and drained six 3s, three from Ramsey, two from Jenna Koepke and another from Brielle Burdick to score 23 points.
However, Smithson Valley kept pace and tallied 22 points in the period and recorded nine of those points at the free-throw line on 9 of 12 shooting.
Champion was down 10 points at the end of three quarters, 51-41, and scored 17 in the final stanza, with three more 3s from Ramsey, but again, the Lady Rangers basically traded buckets with the Chargers and knocked in 15 points to win it by 8 points.
Besides Ramsey’s 21 points, Burdick finished with 15 points, Jordyn Davis added 7, Koepke scored 6, Lorena Barreiro had 5, while Kylie Baum and Kam Edwards both chipped in with 2 points.
Smithson Valley had five players finish in double figures with 17, 12, 12, 10 and 10 for balanced scoring, while another Ranger scored 3.
