Champion boys, girls compete at district golf tourney

Charger boys team finished second to advance to regionals

Boerne Champion competed at the district 26-5A golf tournament last week and had one of the boys teams qualify for regionals after they finished second.

The top two teams play at regionals, which is set for April 13-14 in McAllen and Chargers coach Jared Martin said his team played some clutch golf to get there.

“The boys battled back and forth all day, held their ground, and punched their ticket to the regional tournament,” he said.
