Boerne Mayor Tim Handren proclaimed December 12, 2019 as GENEVA EAGLES DAY as he came to campus to honor the Eagles’ Football Team and applaud them for winning the TAPPS Division III State Championship.
Geneva Athletic Director Eric Boerboom, Geneva founder and Boerne City Council member Dr. Brian Fowler and Coach Dean Herbort each addressed the crowd and gave glory to God as they praised the players, coaches, band, cheer squad, parents, administrators and the entire Geneva community for their incredible season and achievement.
“I continue to be very proud to wear this Geneva sweatshirt (which he said he’s worn for 20 years). What I love most about wearing it is that I know who you are and Who you honor. Today, the One you honor is taking a moment to remind you that He is honoring you as you are recognized by your community. Congratulations for a job well done! Enjoy this day!” Fowler said.
In addition, the Athletic Department released the 2019 TAPPS end-of-season football individual awards today. Congratulations to these players for their outstanding achievement and what their efforts added to the team.
