The Boerne boys soccer team's undefeated season comes to a heartbreaking end as they lose the Class 4A state championship 1-0 to San Elizario.
GEORGETOWN – For the second straight season, the Boerne boys soccer team’s season ended in agony. After failing to three-peat as state champions last season, the Greyhounds entered the Class 4A state championship undefeated. But San Elizario ’s Francisco Marquez scored a goal from about 25 yards out in the second half to help the Eagles end Boerne ’s title run 1-0. “We knew that they were going to want to take shots,” Boerne coach Michael Strong said.
“The first half, I was just dealing with a lot of downhill balls because of the wind,” Niedecken said. “They worked really hard, just got lucky in the second half. Didn't see it until the ball moved in there. I got a full hand to it just unlucky.” Niedecken had not allowed a goal in his previous two playoff games, but San Elizario's 11 shots, including five from the corner, were just too much to handle. “They got a few shots,” Niedecken said. “Our team was tired.
