Going up against the 10th ranked team in the state was a tough matchup for the Broncos last Friday night in Gruver. The Broncos fought hard, but still suffered a 0-41 loss to the Greyhounds.
“Our pre-district schedule is tough,” head coach Gary Jack said. “We are still fighting injuries, and that puts us in a bind.”
The Broncos are still moving people around to fill spots left by injuries earlier in the year and opponents are getting tougher. After fighting against Gruver, the Broncos will travel to Booker, who is ranked seventh in the state Friday night.
“It has just been one of those years,” Jack said. “We are very young, and then we’ve been hurt by injuries, so it was another tough week for us. We have had a lot of challenges so far.”
Jack noted that the Broncos controlled the ball, especially in the second half of play, but could not find the end zone to put points on the board. “We had several players have good games,” Jack said. “Riley Shadle had twelve tackles on defense and did a good job for us. Clay Koetting, Bryce Hatley, Zack Watson, and Caleb Cobb all played solid defense. We just made a couple of mistakes, and we can’t do that against a good team.”
Jack also cited Zack LaRoe as having a good game on offense running the ball and making catches.
The Broncos will use this week to regroup and prepare for Booker on Friday.
“It will be another tough week for us,” Jack said. “We are just trying to survive until our open week to get some guys back and get ready for district.”
The Broncos will travel to Booker on Friday, September 26, and play at 7:30 p.m.
