Broncos struggle against Claude

By Sandy Anderberg
Things did not go as the Broncos planned against Claude at home last Friday night and they were defeated 31-48 after getting a win against them in the first half of district.
The first half of play was fairly even with Claude only holding a three-point lead at the break.  The Broncos were right where they needed to be, but a slow-shooting third quarter was devastating for the Broncos as the Mustangs increased their lead to ten.  Fouls worked against the Broncos as Claude went to the line numerous times while the Broncos only went thirteen times and made good on only four of those.
“We did not shoot the ball well for the entire game,” head coach Brandt Lockhart said.  “We could not buy one inside or outside in the second half.  It was a tough loss.”
Scoring:  JoJo Cartwright 10, Cedrick McCampbell 6, Charles Mason 6, Taylon Knorpp 4, Chance McAnear 3, and Ashton Smith 2.
The Broncos will host White Deer at home Friday, January 31, and travel to Panhandle on Tuesday, February 4, beginning at 8:00 p.m.
