The Broncos played hard in their season opener and racked up 29 points in their match-up with Seymour in Bronco Stadium Friday night. The Clarendon defense not only kept the Panthers out of the endzone all night but also added six points of their own to the point total.
The Broncos finished the game with 202 yards rushing, and senior quarterback Brock Hatley racked up 75 yards in the air to put the Broncos just under 280 total yards on the night.
The Broncos began to develop their running game last year with several players sharing the duties in the backfield and are continuing to build on that speed.
The Bronco team consists of several seniors who have put in the work for four years and are counting on a huge season. Along with their running game, the Broncos will bring some strength to their passing game as well.
Putting together some good runs on the ground were seniors Lamarcus Penigar, Jordan Herndon, Jordan Evans, and Brock Hatley who were joined by junior Jmaury Davis, and sophomores Lyric Smith and Easton Frausto who added to the total yardage.
Rounding out the Broncos’ offensive strengths is senior wide receiver Koyt Tucek, who had one catch for 10 yards.
Smith had a big game for the Broncos as he carried three times for 51 yards and one touchdown on the night. Penigar posted 43 yards on nine carries for 43 yards and one touchdown, and Herndon carried eight times for one touchdown and 27 total yards. The Broncos called on Davis five times for 29 yards, and Evans collected 29 yards in four carries. Hatley had three carries for 20 yards and was 6/11 passing for 75 yards in the air, and Frausto had one carry for four yards. Penigar also had seven catches from Hatley for 65 yards.
Despite being a little light on the line, the Bronco defense stayed strong against the Panthers. Hatley led the team with 11 tackles, and Davis had nine. He also had two forced fumbles and recovered two fumbles. His blocked punt resulted in six points for the Broncos.
“We held Seymour to only 65 yards rushing,” head coach Clint Conkin said.
