The Clarendon Broncos have faced a tough pre-district season on the football field. Their 18-51 loss at home last week was another hard-fought game with a discouraging outcome for the young team.
The Broncos got started on the wrong foot when they were pushed back behind their own goal line a minute into the game and suffered a safety at the hands of the Greyhounds. Gruver went on to score 30 points in the opening quarter of play and reached 50 points at the break.
Despite the loss, the Broncos had some bright spots on both sides of the ball. Mason Sims did a good job at the quarterback spot but struggled with fumbles and interceptions. Sims earned the Broncos’ first score of the game on a 55-yard run around the left side to the endzone. Penalties plagued the Broncos just when they abegan to find momentum in the game. Sims did, however, find Colton Caudle for a 37-yard pass early on, but narrowly fell short of six.
Junior Kyler Bell stepped in at the QB position late in the game and connected with Mason from 17 yards out for a touchdown and then found him again for another six points.
The Broncos are determined to turn things around and will focus on Lockney for their Homecoming game Friday night at 7:00 p.m. in Bronco Stadium.
