The Broncos breezed through their Homecoming game against Gruver Friday night in Bronco Stadium with a 42-6 win before a huge hometown crowd.
The dominance by the Bronco team was undeniable, and the Greyhounds were left helpless throughout. Clarendon racked up 356 total yards to only 97 yards for a struggling Gruver team. The Broncos accumulated 223 of those yards on the ground resulting in four touchdowns.
Mike Crump got things rolling for the Broncos very early in the game when he scored from one yard out to give Clarendon the advantage. Brother Chris Crump then caught two passes for touchdowns from 28 and 33 yards respectively, and Mike Crump topped off the first quarter scoring with a 14-yard run. Mike Crump scored again in the second quarter on a four-yard run, and Wes Williams ended the scoring frenzy with a big 73-yard run that resulted in six. Coby Braughton added all the bonus kicks for the Broncos.
“Once again, our line did a great job for us,” head coach Gary Jack said. “We did a lot of good things. Johnny (Gaines) threw the ball well. Bradley Watson made some good catches for us, and Mike (Crump) and Wes (Williams) ran the ball, too. Our defense did a good job and shut them out through three quarters.”
The Broncos’ controlled the game, which allowed the younger players to get playing time.
“Because of the lead we had, we were able to take our starters out in the second half and let some of the junior varsity players get in the game,” Jack said. “And that helped us to stay fairly healthy.”
The Broncos are definitely in the hunt for post-season play and are expecting to go deep in the play offs. They have already fought through several tough opponents and after an open date this week are hoping to continue their dominance on the field with their District opponents.
“We had a good non-district run and went 6-1,” Jack said. “And we’ll play Quanah in our first District game at home. It will be the most challenging game of the District, and we’re looking forward to it.”
