The Ralls Jackrabbits may have scored the first six points of their matchup with the Broncos Friday night in Bronco Stadium, but the Broncos claimed the last six points in their 18-12 win.
Ralls held the Broncos scoreless in the first quarter of play after putting six points on the board. But the maroon and white would not be denied and put up six points of their own in the second 12 minutes of the games to tie the game at six all at half time.
“I thought the kids fought hard against a very good Ralls team,” head coach Clint Conkin said.
The Broncos had 281 total yards in the win, and quarterback Brock Hatley was two for five passing for 11 yards hitting Jmaury Davis for 10 yards and Aaron Roys for one. Antwan Bassett accounted for two of the Bronco touchdowns and had two carries for 20 yards, and Sylvester Ballard carried seven times for 70 yards and earned the other Bronco TD. Lamarcus Peniger had seven carries for 109 yards, and Davis racked up 36 yards rushing on seven carries. Jordan Evans also posted 19 yards rushing on one lone run, Rhett Caison went six yards on one carry, and Roys added 15 yards rushing.
Defensively, the Broncos were all over the Jackrabbits with several players posting tackles. Jordan Herndon led the way with 12 tackles and one caused fumble, and Hatley racked up 11 tackles. Ballard and Ivan Gonzalez each earned 10 tackles with Ballard grabbing an interception. Robert McGuire finished with nine tackles, and Bassett grabbed seven tackles and caused a fumble.
“Our defense played great with a goal line stand at the end to win the game,” Conkin said. “We had several guys making tackles all night.”
The Broncos will be on the road to Bovina Friday, September 11, at 7 pm.
