After 31 minutes and 58 seconds were used up, the Broncos found themselves in a do or die situation at home Friday night against the White Deer Bucks as they trailed by one point near the end of the game.
Two ticks on the clock remained and they needed that many points to get the 55-54 win. The Broncos executed the play to perfection and inside player Adam Topper got the ball and made the two-point shot untouched by any defender to win the game.
It was a well-deserved win for the Broncos as they fought hard to defeat a very athletic opponent. Topper finished the game with 13 points and Trevor Cobb added 10 from the outside to lead the Broncos to the win.
It was a game of determination and grit as the Broncos trailed the entire game. They were plagued throughout by missed free throws and too many turnovers, but they never gave up and earned their win.
“We did a good job of coming back in the fourth quarter and executing the final play to win at the buzzer,” coach Brandt Lockhart said.
The Broncos will ride that intensity into their week as they open District play on Friday, January 13, at Wheeler.
Scoring: Topper 13, Cobb 10, Cody Wood 8, Cole Ward 8, Diego Santos 8, Wes Williams 6, and Tyler Burch 2.
