The Clarendon Broncos had one plan last Friday, and that was to go into Wellington with a big win on their minds and get on top early. They were able to execute their game plan exactly the way they wanted and stormed the Rockets 36-20.
The Broncos not only won the District Championship. They earned the number one seed in the playoffs which will pit them against Boys Ranch Friday, November 10, at 7:00 p.m. at Dick Bivins Stadium in Amarillo.
Quay Brown earned the first touchdown for the Broncos early in the game to give the Broncos the first six points of the game before Colton Caudle hit the mark with a touchdown. Caudle did a great job all night long on both sides of the ball. He posted a 90-yard touchdown and was able to strip the football on a QB sack to give the Broncos another possession.
“We felt good about our game plan all week,” first year head coach Aaron Wampler said. “These guys did a terrific job all night long.”
Wellington was favored in the match up, but the Broncos stayed strong defensively. They held the Rockets scoreless until the end of the first quarter. The score at the break was 22-12.
Senior Lyric Smith played a great game finishing with 318 yards passing on 12 of 20 attempts and three touchdowns. He racked up 90 yards on 21 carries and found the endzone two additional times. He broke through the line several times on the night to gather up 19 tackles and one interception.
Caudle had four receptions for 184 yards that resulted in two touchdowns. Caudle was strong on defense with 10 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble. Quay Brown made good on three catches from Smith for 78 yards and the first touchdown of the game. Grant Haynes turned in a good game with 10 tackles on defense.
The entire Bronco team contributed to the win and played strong against the Skyrockets. They will go into the game with Boys Ranch with the same determination Friday night.
