Two missed chances to score inside the five added to the demise of the Broncos in their district season opener against Quanah.
The 30-42 final put the Broncos at 0-1 in district with two regular season games to go.
Overall, according to head coach Gary Jack; the Broncos put together a fairly good offensive game despite the loss.
“We were ahead early,” Jack said. “We played hard and it was a tough game, but our mistakes cost us the win.”
Clarendon racked up over 450 total yards of offense, just behind the Indians’ 500 yards.
Wesley Williams posted over 170 yards rushing, which put him over the 1,000-yard mark already this season, and Charleston Harris added another 100 plus on the night.
“We did a lot of good things offensively,” Jack said.
“And with six minutes left in the game, it’s a four-point game. Either it was our win or anybody’s game.”
Several Broncos had good games and according to Jack, quarterback Chance McAnear threw the ball well and Jerami Johnson made good catches.
Jack noted that Chris Shultz did a great job on both sides of the ball. Trevor Cobb and Trajen Johnson played well on defense.
Jonah Sell played good defense with a fumble recovery. Harris was great on offense and played good defense as well. He also had one fumble recovery and recorded a QB sack. Diego Santos caused two fumbles and Jayson Pigg had a fumble recovery.
The loss put the Broncos in a must-win situation as they prepare to face Lockney on the road Friday night.
“We need to win this week,” Jack said. “And we need to be ready to play. We have a few guys back from injuries, and we are getting healthier.”
The Broncos will hit the road again to face-off against Lockney at 7:30 p.m. Friday night, October 2 in Lockney.
