Boerne unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They took a 35-28 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Pieper Warriors on Friday. The loss was a bit of a surprise, as the Greyhounds came into the game with a sizable advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 99th, while the Warriors are ranked 224th).
When it comes to explaining why Boerne lost, don't look at Grant Sweeney. Despite the final result, he threw for 278 yards and one TD, and also rushed for 51 yards. A healthy portion of Sweeney's aerial production (90 yards to be exact) went to Zachry Fraiser.
Pieper got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Andrew Grinestaff out in front who picked up 151 receiving yards and a pair of scores. Those 151 receiving yards gave Grinestaff a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Isaiah Gaitan, who rushed for 34 yards and two touchdowns.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Boerne will head out to challenge United at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
