SAN ANTONIO – The Boerne Champion boys water polo team will play for the 6A state championship on Saturday after the Chargers defeated League City Clear Creek, 17-12, on Friday.
Champion (26-3) plays the winner of the Austin Westlake and Lewisville Hebron match Saturday at noon at Davis Natatorium for the 2026 6A state championship.
The Chargers never trailed in Friday’s match against the two-time defending state champs. Champion was up 4-3 at the end of the first quarter and then outscored the Wildcats in the second, 8-2, and held a 12-5 win at halftime.
It was pretty much even in the second half as Clear Creek scored 7 goals and the Chargers tallied 5 goals as they focused more on killing clock than on scoring in the fourth quarter.
There was a measure of revenge in Friday’s win for Champion since Clear Creek beat the Chargers at state last year by the same score of 17-12 and also defeated the Chargers earlier in the season in a tournament, 12-11.
