In their 41-35 win over Wellington the Broncos had a slow start and struggled to find a rhythm on the offensive side. Missed shots plagued the Broncos initially while the Rockets were able to put points on the board. But a second-quarter surge allowed the Broncos to get back into the game before the break to only trail by four.
A huge offensive attack in the third period gave the Broncos the momentum and desire to finish strong. Senior Anthony Ceniceros was solid with 16 total points that included two from behind the arc and 66 percent from the bonus line.
After suffering foul trouble in the first quarter, fellow senior Lyric Smith got back on the floor in the second half and played strong putting in all but two of his 11 points in the final two quarters. Mason Sims was strong underneath the basket and hit five of six from the free throw line, and Jaxan McAnear helped with five points as well. Leyante Prince added four points in the win.
On Friday night, the Broncos took on Wheeler and breezed by them at 79-39. Clarendon was never contested as they took a 20-12 lead after one. They were able to score at will and the Mustangs struggled to stop them. The Broncos were able to knock down 11 three-pointers in the game.
Smith and Prince led the way with 27 and 21 respectively, and Ceniceros put in nine. Sims had eight, and Kaleb Bolin put in six. Levi Gates put in four, and Riley Wade hit a three-pointer.
