Broncos grab two much-needed district wins
By Sandy Anderberg
The Broncos are coming off a totally dominating week as they racked up big wins over Quanah and Wheeler. The Quanah game was one-sided with the Broncos getting the huge 84-28 win, but the Wheeler game went to double OT before the Broncos earned the ‘W’ at 59-57.
At home against Quanah, the Broncos were unstoppable and totally frustrated their opponent with great defensive play. The Bronco lead was never in jeopardy the entire game as they were dominant in every aspect.
Offensively, five players finished in double figures as they took advantage of several turnovers and steals.
“We were able to get fast break points and we made seven out of twelve from the three-point line,” coach Brandt Lockhart said. “Our defense was very good and we held Quanah to 28 points, which was a season low for us.”
Junior Ceniceros had 21, and Bryce Grahn put in 16. Chance Lockhart added 13, and Marshal Johnson and Chesson Sims each helped with 10. Damarjae Cortez put in eight, Keandre Cortez had four, and Colt Wood had two. Lockhart added seven rebounds and Grahn had six. Wood racked up eight assists with Cortez helping with five. Grahn had seven steals on defense and Wood had three.
The Wheeler Mustangs proved to be a tougher opponent and it took the Broncos two extended periods to get the win. The Broncos held a three-point lead with just ticks left on the clock and the Mustangs were able to connect on a three to force extra minutes.
It was the Broncos’ turn to force the next OT when Damarjae Cortez made good on a two-pointer. The Broncos then did just enough to earn the win.
“After having two starters foul out, our bench came in a played well,” Lockhart said. “Damarjae hit a big shot to put it into overtime.”
Ceniceros had 15, Johnson 13, and Lockhart 11 to lead the Broncos. Both Lockhart and Johnson posted a double-double with 10 rebounds each to add to their point total. Wood and K. Cortez each had five points, Sims four, and Grahn and D. Cortez had three. Lockhart nearly got a triple-double as he added eight assists. Grahn helped with five assists. The Cortez brothers each had one steal on defense.
The Broncos will play Shamrock at home February 5 and travel to Wellington on Tuesday, February 9, beginning at 8:00 p.m.
Lady Broncos drop game to Lady Mustangs
By Sandy Anderberg
The Lady Broncos fought hard against the Lady Mustangs in Wheeler Friday night, but ended with a 28-46 loss.
The ladies could never get anything going offensively in the battle in the first half, but put together a big third quarter on both sides of the ball. They were able to score 14, while holding the Lady Mustangs to only three points. But a slow shooting fourth quarter spelled disaster for the Lady Broncos and they suffered another district loss.
Briley Chadwick finished with eight and Brianna Butler added five. Jensen Hatley, Sandrea Smith and Berkeley Alexander all had four, Hannah Howard put in two and Hannah Hommel added one.
“Again, we had a game of two halves,” Grahn said. “We had a tough time scoring in the first half, so we found ourselves in a hole at the half. The second half we came out very aggressive and shut them down and outscored them, 14-3. We limited their second shots and forced them to throw the ball away. We had to foul at the end and they sealed the game at the free throw line. We have to keep working to find our shooting groove.”
Earlier in the week the Lady Broncos hosted Quanah and were defeated 41-51. The Lady Broncos jumped out to an early one-point lead, but succumbed to cold shooting in the second quarter. The Lady Indians were able to capitalize on it and take a four-point lead into the break.
Clarendon was able to fight back in the third quarter and even tie the game at 28 all until Quanah was able to pull away and get the win. Butler and Hatley led the way with eight points each and Smith and Owiti each had six. Chadwick finished with five, Howard four, Alexander three, and Hommel had one.
“The girls came out and played a very good first half,” Grahn said. “We had balanced scoring with eight of the ten girls scoring. Quanah did a nice job of attacking our zone and getting to the free throw line in the fourth quarter. We have nice balanced scoring; we just need to push our averages up.”
The Lady Broncos take on Shamrock at home February 5 and travel to Wellington February 9 for their last district game at 6:30 pm.
