For the second week in a row, the Boerne Champion football team hit the 60-point plateau after the Chargers defeated New Braunfels Long Creek 62-14 Thursday in their home opener at Boerne ISD Stadium.
Champion was coming off a 60-7 win the previous week against Laredo United South and stands at 2-0 as they close out non-district play. The Chargers open district action next Friday at home against Bastrop Cedar Creek.
Sophomore QB Ryder Flugence tossed five touchdown passes and ran for another, but it was his brother, Roman, who had the first score of the game when he returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown on the third play of the game.
The Charger D also returned an interception for a touchdown in last week's game in Laredo.
Ryder tossed TD passes to Zachary Lopez and Mason Clayton in the first quarter for the 21-0 lead.
Ryder had his third TD pass of the night for the 28-0 advantage before the Dragons recorded their first score on a 21-yard run by Isaiah Martinez to make it 28-7. Ryder then ran in a touchdown of 12 yards to help the Chargers take a 35-7 lead into halftime.
As well as Champion played in the first half, their best offensive quarter came in the third after they tallied four touchdowns to blow the game open at 62-7.
Ryder found Lopez and Will Burgess on scoring strikes of 27 and 39 yards, while Julian Navarrete ran in touchdowns of 1 and 29 yards to account for their four TDs in the period.
The Dragons added a late rushing touchdown as they battled until the end.
Champion's defense came up with three more interceptions in the game and has five total this year.
Besides the Roman Flugence Pick-6, Aiden Styskal and Mason Klahr also intercepted passes in Thursday’s game.
