The Broncos had a great season and playoff run, but it came to an end against New Home in Floydada last Friday in the Region 1-2A Division II Semifinals.
The Leopards were able to get the 14-8 win to move on, and the Broncos finished at 9-4 overall.
The Broncos were the first to score when Lyric Wilson took it in from nine yards out, and Wilson Ward added the two-point bonus. New Home would not score until the second quarter of play.
The battle was defensive from the beginning as senior Jmaury Davis struggled to find the holes. Davis could only muster 58 yards rushing on 27 carries which is not his usual yardage for a game.
“We just couldn’t move the ball like we’re normally used to,” head coach Clint Conkin said. “They were tough up front, and it was a defensive battle.”
The Bronco defense did all they could to hold the Leopards at bay with QB sacks and interceptions. Junior Colton Benson had a solid game from his position and sacked the quarterback more than once.
The Broncos dominated the time of possession but hit a New Home roadblock when they got the momentum going in their favor.
