The Broncos had an easy time getting passed Quanah on the road Friday night in a 40-0 shutout over the Indians to earn another District win.
The Broncos scored right out of the box when senior Lyric Smith hit Colton Caudle for a 40-yard touchdown pass to take the 6-0 lead over the Indians at the 11:44 mark in the opening quarter of play. Minutes later, Shane Hagood took a strong handoff from Smith to find the endzone for another six points. The Broncos were able to add another eight points to the score total before the first quarter buzzer and add another late in the second for a 28-point lead at the break.
Smith threw for 118 yards hitting 10 of 18 targets including the strike to Caudle for a TD. Smith’s other receivers, Mason Sims, Quay Brown, and Easton Frausto covered the field well to find the open field. Smith added 133 yards on keepers rushing for four touchdowns. Caudle posted 90 total yards, Brown added 51, and Sims racked up 50. Hagood finished with 32 yards and Frausto added 30 on the night.
The Broncos played great defense all night long from everywhere on the field. Dalton Coles played hard once again and finished with 12 tackles. Caudle brought down 11 tackles, and Easton Frausto and Jared Musick added nine more apiece. Anthony Ceniceros was in on six tackles. The Indians struggled to get anything going offensively against the strong Bronco defense.
The Broncos are in a great position currently at 2-0 in District as they go into Friday night’s game with Memphis. The Cyclones are a great rival for the Broncos, but the maroon and white have the home-field advantage. The contest with Memphis will be Friday, October 20, at 7:00 p.m.
