District 28-4A
Boys Varsity Basketball

Tuesday night had plenty of action for the final scheduled games in District 28-4A.
By the end of play, Boerne had ruined a perfect season, Wimberley helped Bandera with a win and the Bulldogs helped their own cause with a win.
Fredericksburg, 32-0 on the season, was looking to finish district unbeaten but would have to get by the Boerne Greyhounds, the only team that had given the Billies scare in the first round, where the Billies won a 56-53 OT decision
As predicted, the second game was another nail-biter, with Boerne getting the upper hand on this go around, holding on for a 53-52 victory, to end Fred's bid for a perfect season.
Bandera was going to need a little help to stay alive in district. The Bulldogs needed a win over Llano and hope that third place Wimberley could dish out a loss to Canyon Lake.
If both of those happened, it would force a play-in game between Bandera and Canyon Lake to determine the district's four seed for the upcoming playoffs.
Canyon Lake did everything they could to not have that play-in game happen.
The Hawks battled back from a 29-24 halftime deficit to tie the Texans at the end of regulation with both teams knotted at 50.
The Texans took charge in OT, outscoring the Hawks by 10, 16-6, to get the win and lend a helping hand to the Bulldogs.
All that was left was for the Bulldogs to handle business against the Yellowjackets on Senior/Parents Night in front of a somewhat sparse home crowd.
The Bulldogs came out and played one of their better quarters of the season, taking a 20-11 lead at the end of one, in spite of going 0-8 from three-point land.
Both teams played even in the second stanza, with Bandera protecting a 30-22 lead at the half.
The Yellowjackets scored 33 in the second half, but couldn't keep pace with the Bulldogs 35 points, allowing Bandera to take a 65-55 decision and force the play-in game against Canyon Lake on Friday.
Trace Decker led Bandera scoring with 20 points with Tyler Moore and Liam Demarchi adding 15 and 13 points respectively.
