The stakes remain the same as both teams arrive with momentum, Randle at a perfect 14-0 and Boerne at 13-1 after navigating a demanding playoff path.

Boerne returned to the semifinal round despite a significant offseason overhaul. Former coach Che Hendrix departed for Arkansas, taking his son and starting quarterback, Hank Hendrix, with him, but first-year head coach Brett Sawyer and star junior quarterback Grant Sweeney have kept the Greyhounds on course.

Boerne ran the table in District 13-5A-II and has leaned on Sweeney, a dual-threat three-star prospect drawing interest from UTSA and North Texas, while rolling through four postseason wins by double digits.

Randle brings a 30-game winning streak into the matchup and once again has the look of a title contender. The Lions’ offense runs behind junior running back Landen Williams-Callis, the newly announced Gatorade Texas Football Player of the Year and national award finalist (won by Nixa (Missouri) offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell.

Rated the No. 3 running back in the country in the 2027 class, Williams-Callis has produced 3,106 rushing yards and 53 rushing touchdowns this season and 7,158 rushing yards and 119 rushing TDs for his career, placing him among the most prolific rushers in Greater Houston history.

The winner will advance to face Melissa or South Oak Cliff in the 5A Division II state championship game.

1st Quarter

FIELD GOAL! Randle took the opening kickoff, marched down the field and got a 39-yard field goal from Raul Vega with 9:34 left in the first quarter to take the game's first lead. Randle 3, Boerne 0

HUGE PENALTY! Boerne marched the ball down to the Lions' 1-yard line. But after getting stuffed at the 1 on third down, a personal foul on the Greyhounds after the play pushed the ball back to the 12 to force a field goal. They likely would have gone for it if not for the penalty.

MISSED FIELD GOAL! With 5:11 remaining in the first quarter, Boerne's Diego Jiminez hooked a 35-yard field goal attempt wide left.

PUNT! Boerne's defense got a stop, and Randle punted the ball to the Greyhounds' 11 with 3:32 left in the third.

PUNT! Boerne had 3rd-and-1 deep in their own territory, but got stuffed for a 1-yard loss and was forced to punt. The punt was shanked, giving the ball back to Randle at the Greyhounds' 30 with 2:06 left in the first.

TOUCHDOWN! Randle took advantage of the bad punt, as star running back Landen Williams-Callis juked and then carried defenders 30 yards on the first play of the drive and scored the game's first touchdown. The PAT try failed, but Randle's lead swelled with 1:57 left in the first quarter. Randle 9, Boerne 0

PUNT! The Greyhounds continued to struggle running into the teeth of Randle's defense up the middle and stalled at their own 39. The drive only lasted 55 seconds, and the Lions got the ball back at their own 28 with 1:02 left in the first.

SACK FUMBLE! On third down, Randle quarterback Tyler Skrabanek scrambled to his left and was sacked from behind by senior Ben Bays and fumbled. Boerne's Cash Gatlin scooped it up at the Lions' 21 and returned it to the 19 with 18 seconds left in the first.

TOUCHDOWN! Boerne quarterback Grant Sweeney found Zach Fraiser at the goal line, and Fraiser made a dandy one-handed grab for a 19-yard TD with 5 seconds left in the first. The PAT cut into Randle's deficit. Randle 9, Boerne 7

End 1: Richmond Randle 9, Boerne 7

2nd Quarter

BLOCKED PUNT, SAFETY! With 9:49 left in the half, Boerne senior linebacker Hadden Silva raced in off the left end and blocked Randle's punt. The ball rolled through the back of the end zone, and Ben Bays pounced on it just as it was going out of bounds. Officials ruled that Bays did not gain possession before going out of bounds and ruled a safety, thus tying the game and giving the ball back to the Greyhounds' offense. Randle 9, Boerne 9

TURNOVER ON DOWNS! On 4th-and-8, Boerne's Will Traylor nearly made a grab at the sticks, but officials ruled it hit the turf, and Randle took possession with just under 7 minutes left in the half around its own 40.

BIG PLAY! Tyler Skrabanek threw a long pass to receiver Ashton Johnson to set up a 1st-and-goal at the Greyhounds' 3.

TOUCHDOWN! On 3rd-and-goal, Landen Williams-Callis scored on a 2-yard run, his second TD of the game, to put the Randle Lions back in front with 4:25 left in the half. The drive covered 64 yards. Randle 16, Boerne 9

SACK! On third down, Grant Sweeney stepped up when the pocket broke down and got sandwiched by a pair of Randle defenders to set up 4th-and-22 with 2:02 left in the half. Senior linebacker Noriel Dominguez was in on the stop.

PUNT! Boerne punted the ball to Randle's 40 with 1:56 left in the half.

BIG PLAY! On a misdirection draw, Landen Williams-Callis broke a 43-yard run down to the Greyhounds' 4 with 17 seconds left in the half. He nearly scored on the play, but officials ruled he stepped out of bounds at the 4.

TOUCHDOWN! After a false start penalty pushed the Lions back to the Greyhounds' 9 with 17 seconds left, Landen Williams-Callis took a handoff, ran right, made a sharp cut at the 5 and scored on a 9-yard run with 9 seconds left. Randle 23, Boerne 9.
