The Clarendon Broncos have had an up and down year on the field ending the year at 6-5.
However, they were able to finish third in the District race, which put them in a playoff game with Ralls last Friday night in Tulia. Despite playing hard, the Broncos fell short 19-32.
“Friday did not turn out the way we wanted it to,” head coach Clint Conkin said. “This season was a learning experience for our players, and I am so proud of our guys. They got valuable playing time that will help them in the future.”
The Broncos’ total yardage was down from their average on the season only racking up 127 rushing yards and 82 passing yards. Lamarcus Penigar was eight of 17 passing for the 82 yards and one touchdown to Collin Butler. The Jackrabbits had a stop for everything the Broncos gave them as they were able to control the scoring in the game.
Jmaury Davis was responsible for two of the Broncos’ touchdowns and carried the ball nine times for 53 yards. Sylvester Ballard carried the balls 11 times for only three yards, and Penigar had seven carries for 34 yards. Jordan Evans carried twice for two yards, and Antwan Bassett had 19 yards on two carries. Rhett Caison carried the ball twice as well and finished with four yards.
Jamal Butler caught three passes from Penigar for 27 yards, and Nate Lee had one catch for three yards. Jmaury Butler grabbed a pass for 12 yards, and Collin Butler finished the game with 40 yards on three catches and one TD.
Seniors Collin Butler, Jamal Butler, Harm Drenth, Henry Dushay, Nate Lee, and Zane Sneathen will be missed by their teammates next year.
The Broncos will begin their 2019-2020 basketball season at home Friday night, November 22, against Hereford with JV to play at 5:30 p.m. and varsity to follow at 7:00.
