The Bandera Lady Bulldogs opening foray into District 28-4A play didn’t go quite as expected as the visiting Boerne Lady Greyhounds took a 27 point win to spoil Bandera's district home opener.
Boerne came out hot, opening up an 11-0 lead before Bandera saw its first two points on the scoreboard.
The Lady 'Hounds extended their lead to a 22-2 advantage midway through the quarter and kept that margin through the end of the first with a 27-7 lead.
Bandera battled back and outscored Boerne 14-8 in the second, thanks to defensive rebounding and aggressive play that garnered some penalty calls against Boerne, to get within 14 at the break, 35-21.
The second half was much of the same except it was Bandera that got into foul trouble early, playing the majority of the second half with Boerne in the bonus.
After voicing her frustration and with most of the calls seemingly going Boerne's way, Bandera coach Kirsten Dumont got called for a technical with six seconds left in the third.
Both teams traded equal scoring opportunities in the fourth and the game came to a close with Boerne a 27 point winner, 68-41.
The Lady Bulldogs have some work to do, missed free throws, unforced turnovers and low FG percentage were all factors in the loss and that can be corrected.
On the plus side, Brianna Stimmell and Liz MacNeil led Bandera with 12 points each and Anna Guajardo hauled in 11 boards on the night.
In other opening night action, both the Bandera JV and freshmen teams also started district with a loss to Boerne, the JV falling 44-12 and the freshmen losing, 65-6.
The Lady 'Dogs will head Canyon Lake on Friday , tip off is set for 6:30 p.m.
