Game results and further playoff information will be posted on www.ClarendonLive.com as it becomes available.
The Broncos were in a dogfight Friday night as they tried to put space between them and the Wildcats. It was not easy, but senior standout Johnny Gaines took control of the game and the scoreboard as he finished with 34 points in the game.
The inside work of the Broncos paid off as well as they slowed Canadian’s big post player who finished with 17 points. The final minutes of the third period were crucial to the Broncos as they went on a scoring run to build an eight-point lead. The Broncos hit several key free throws late as the momentum was clearly on Clarendon’s side.
And the Wildcats could only stand back and watch as the Broncos backed up their number one ranking by grabbing the win and the trophy. The Bronco offense was slightly off, but defensively, the Broncos were able to convert on turnovers.
“We did a good job playing defense and were able to turn those into points,” Lockhart
said. “Overall, it was not a good shooting night, but I thought we played with great effort.”
Also scoring: Brayden Phillips 6, Chris Crump 6, Justin Shillings 3, and Mike Crump 2.
