The Clarendon Broncos opened their 2013 football season against Tulia, who was a playoff team last year. Despite playing hard, the Broncos suffered a 34-56 loss in a game that was played closer than the score revealed.
According to head coach Gary Jack, the team never gave up against the Hornets.
“I am very proud of our guys,” Jack said. “My hat is off to my team for never giving up.”
The Broncos stayed with the Hornets matching their offense, but low numbers set them back.
“We suited up 16 players and they had 35,” Jack said. “We played with only 14 players in the second half after two of our guys got hurt. Our offense moved the ball well, and our defense did a good job of staying with them. They were able to run in fresh players when our guys had to play the entire game. But we performed, and I have respect for them for hanging in there.”
The Broncos’ good play did not go unnoticed by those on the opposing team.
“Several people commended us for our good play,” Jack said. “I am proud of how hard we played.”
The Broncos will get another chance this Friday night when they take on Vega at home in their Homecoming game which will get underway at 7:30 p.m. in Bronco Stadium.
