The Bronco varsity made short work of the Memphis Cyclones defeating them 70-29 on the road last Friday night. The win was the first of the district season for the Broncos.
They will host Wellington at home on Friday, January 20, beginning at 8 p.m. On January 24, they will take on Wheeler at home.
Lyric Smith got the best of the Cyclones and scored 26 points that included one three-pointer and scoring five out of nine free throws. Tyler Harper joined Smith in double figures with 13 points. The Broncos took control early on and never looked back. They hit shot after shot and their solid defensive play frustrated the Cyclones who struggled to find the basket. Anthony Ceniceros went two for two from the bonus line and finished with nine points. Jmaury Davis and Josiah Hearn added eight points each, and Kaleb Bolin helped with six.
Earlier in the week, the Broncos narrowly lost to a very physical Childress team 38-46 that included a heavy-duty defensive effort by both teams.
The game stayed fairly even through three quarters, but Childress gained a six-point advantage going into the final eight minutes. The Broncos never gave up but were not able to close the gap.
Smith finished with 18, and Davis had 16. Hearn and Harper had two points apiece.
