The 2024 UIL Football Semifinal is set to feature a highly anticipated showdown between two powerhouses: the undefeated Randle Lions (14-0) and the resilient Boerne Greyhounds (11-3). Both teams have showcased remarkable talent and determination throughout the season, setting the stage for an epic clash.
Team Overview
Randle Lions
Randle enters the semifinals as a dominant force, boasting a perfect 14-0 record. Their high-octane offense, which averages 52.6 points per game, has outscored opponents by a staggering margin of 737-107. The Lions excel on the ground, averaging 264.9 rushing yards per game, thanks largely to their standout player, Landen Williams-Callis, who contributes 139.5 rushing yards and 18.4 points per game.
Defensively, Randle is equally formidable, allowing an average of just 7.6 points per game. Players like Chace Sims (6.7 tackles per game) and Cary Spires IV (0.9 sacks per game) have been instrumental in maintaining their defensive stronghold.
Boerne Greyhounds
Boerne has had an impressive season with an 11-3 record, marked by their adaptability and offensive explosiveness. The Greyhounds shine in the passing game, averaging 303.3 passing yards per game. Quarterback Hank Hendrix, a pivotal player, leads the team with 293.5 passing yards and 301.8 total yards per game.
Their defense, led by Hutson Hendrix with 11.2 tackles per game and Logan Fritcher with 1.0 sacks per game, has been solid, although slightly more porous compared to Randle’s, allowing 336 points over the season.
Statistical Comparisons
While both teams are offensively potent, their strengths lie in different areas. Randle dominates the rushing game, with their relentless ground attack averaging nearly 100 yards more per game than Boerne. On the other hand, Boerne’s air assault, led by Hendrix, eclipses Randle’s passing game by a wide margin.
Defensively, Randle holds the edge with fewer points allowed per game and more sacks per contest. However, Boerne’s tackling numbers—led by Hutson Hendrix—could be a game-changer in neutralizing Randle’s offensive threats.
