The Clarendon Broncos suffered a couple of early losses in their 2022 football season but have since turned it around as they move closer to a District Championship with only three games remaining in their season.
The Broncos’ 48-6 win over the Quanah Indians put them at 5-2 for the season as they prepare for a road trip to Memphis Friday night to take on the Cyclones.
Junior quarterback Harrison Howard had a good game in the air as he posted 133 yards passing. Howard hit his favorite receivers for three of the Broncos’ seven touchdowns.
After an opening 28-yard kick-off return by Quay Brown to put the Broncos at Quanah’s 46-yard line, Lyric Smith grabbed a 14-yard pass and bolted into the endzone nearly untouched for the Broncos’ first score and then fought off a defender to add the bonus. After Quanah went four and out, senior Texas Tech recruit Jmaury Davis snatched a pass from Howard and dodged several defenders for six more points and set the precedent for the remainder of the game. Davis looked impressive as later in the first quarter he returned a Quanah punt 65 yards for six.
The Broncos scored four more times before time ran out in the first quarter with touchdown runs from Davis and Anthony Brown who picked converted a fumble into six points. Wilson Ward kicked four extra points in the game.
The Indians were only able to manage one touchdown right before half time.
Davis carried the ball once for 21 yards and had 79 yards receiving and Smith carried once for five yards and caught two Howard passes for 79 yards. Brown had three carries for 23 yards and Josiah Hearn carried three times for 12 yards and one TD.
The Bronco defense was solid once again with several players racking up tackles. They did a great job of containing the Indians behind the 50-yard line for all of the first quarter and several minutes of the second.
