Fresh off the football season, the Clarendon Broncos destroyed the Highland Park Hornets at home, 78-49. Good defense and spot-on offense allowed the Broncos to set the tempo of the game and shut down anything Highland Park offered.
The Broncos jumped out to the early lead in the first quarter of play and expanded that lead before the break. But, their third quarter offense was on target and they were able to keep the momentum to get the win. Defensively, the Broncos stopped the Hornets and frustrated them offensively. Cole Ward nailed two three-pointers and hit several other shots to lead the Broncos with 21 points. Cody Wood was also a workhorse for the Broncos putting in 13, and Adam Topper was solid inside and helped with 10.
“I thought we played well for our first game,” head coach Brandt Lockhart said. “I was pleased the way we passed the basketball and hustled.”
Also scoring: Trajen Johnson 8, Diego Santos 7, Tyler Burch 5, Cedric McCampbell 4, Charles Mason 4, Chance McAnear 4, and JoJo Cartwright 2.
The Broncos will play Groom at home December 4 and participate in the River Road Tournament December 6.
