The Broncos have been ranked as the number one team in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches in Texas with a 5-1 record. They are in the midst of their basketball schedule and recently traveled to Booker easily defeating the Kiowas, 87-40.
The Broncos were just too much for Booker to handle as they executed with intensity offensively and were sharp on defense.
Clarendon held a 26-point lead at the break and never backed down in the second half of play to get the lopsided win. The Broncos shot 90 percent from the free-throw line and had four guys finish in double figures.
Scoring: Johnny Gaines 23, Cole Ward 15, Brayden Phillips 10, Mike Crump 10, Adam Topper 9, Chris Crump 8, Justin Shillings 8, and Wes Williams 4.
On Friday, the Broncos traveled to Childress and could not come up with a win. They were defeated, 50-56.
Childress jumped out to the early advantage and held off the Broncos until the third quarter when Clarendon got back into the game. But the Broncos could never get ahead of the Cats and were plagued by turnovers in the final quarter.
“We got down early in the first quarter and did a good job of coming back,” head coach Brandt Lockhart said. “However, we had too many turnovers and missed free throws in the fourth quarter.”
Scoring: Gaines 16, M. Crump 13, C. Crump 7, Ward 6, Phillips 6, and Shillings 2.
The Broncos will participate in the Caprock Tournament in Lubbock December 27-29 and will travel to Groom January 7 after the Christmas break.

On Friday, the Lady Broncos traveled to Childress and were defeated, 35-52.
The Lady Cats held the narrow early advantage in the game in the opening quarter, but were able to capitalize on mistakes to gain a 16-point lead at the break. The Lady Broncos came back within 10 points of their opponent at the end of three but could not overtake Childress to get the lead.
