Senior Mike Crump racked up 157 yards rushing and three touchdowns to lead the Broncos’ in their scoring frenzy. Crump scored from 48 yards out in the first period and added an eleven-yard run in the third. His biggest run into the endzone came in the final period on a 62-yard run.
Johnny Gaines, who rushed for 98 yards, added a touchdown and scored six on a punt return in the first quarter of play.
Chris Crump scored on a 16-yard run, and Wes Williams took it in from 42 yards out to round out the scoring. Williams finished with 84 yards, and Chris Crump added 48 yards in the win.
According to head coach Gary Jack, the Broncos’ did not throw the ball a whole lot, but were able to succeed on the ground.
Defensively, the Broncos were on their game and Jack credited Mike and Chris Crump, Wes Williams, Johnny Gaines, Bradley Watson, and Jayson and Jacob Pigg on a great night.
Overall, Jack was happy to get the win.
“We got up pretty quick on them,” Jack said. “But we let them have a touchdown in the first quarter. We weren’t as sharp as we should have been, but we did a lot of good things. We need to clean up a few things in practice this week.”
Jack feels the Broncos will learn from their mistakes and keep going as they prepare for Wheeler Friday night.
“Wheeler always plays hard,” Jack said.
The Broncos will take on Wheeler at home Friday, September 10, before beginning a long, three-game stint on the road.
Kickoff is at 7:30 pm at Bronco Stadium.
