Borger stuns Randall in 3-4A matchup
Borger caught major attention by getting one of the bigger wins across the state this past week with a thrilling 3-2 win against UIL Class 4A defending state champion, Randall, on Thursday at Bulldogs Stadium.
Randall struck first, with Brooklyn Alstead finding the net just eight minutes into the contest, to grab an early 1-0 lead. The advantage didn’t last long though, just 46 seconds later to be exact with Riley Lumpkin answering for Borger, tying the match at 1-1.

Borger responded in the second half, just 12:30 minutes in, when Hadley Reid curled in a corner kick, for an Olympico, her second of the season, to even the score at 2-2.
With 24:30 remaining, Lumpkin finished a header, to put Borger ahead 3–2, giving the Lady Bulldogs their first lead of the match—a lead they’d never relinquish.
The win moves Borger to 6-1-2 overall and 2-1 in district play. Randall falls to 6-3-2 overall and 2-1 in district action.
Tascosa blanks Amarillo High
