The Clarendon Broncos breezed by Smyer 64-26 in their first win of the season last Friday night before a huge Homecoming crowd. The Broncos racked up over 550 offensive yards and found the endzone 12 times.
Senior running back Lyric Smith’s highlight of the night was a 72-yard kickoff return for six from the Broncos’ 28-yard line. Smith counted for 284 yards on the night with 19 carries for 226 yards in addition to 58yards in the air. He also grabbed five tackles on the defensive side.
Quarterback Harrison Howard was 13 of 20 passing for 226 yards and four strikes. Along with Smith, Howard hit Mason Sims for a 35-yard touchdown and found Easton Frausto and Grant Haynes in the air to account for another two scores. The Bronco offensive line did a good job of opening holes in the Smyer defense to allow the Broncos to rack up 325 yards rushing.
Defensively, the Broncos stopped the Bobcats from gaining any advantage on the field moving the ball. Colton Benson led the team with 13 tackles and Frausto finished with 11. Anthony Ceniceros and Dalton Coles added 10 tackles each. Sims posted five tackles and Haynes finished with four. Heston Seay and Ranger Drenth were in on three tackles each, Kaleb Mays had two, and Hayden Moore, Braylon Rice, Michael Randall had one each.
