Broncos take down Vega

By Sandy Anderberg

The Broncos played solid and defeated Vega 35-32 at home last week after a physical ball game. Kaleb Bolin and Michael Randall finished with 11 points to lead the way.

The two teams battled early in the game and only one point separated the teams. But the Broncos played a strong offense in the second eight minutes to take a big lead into the break. Despite falling back somewhat after halftime, the Broncos were able to maintain the lead and finish the game for the win.

Mason Sims put in nine points and hit three of four free throws, and Caleb Herbert helped with four points. Bolin put in three three-pointers and Randall added one.

The Broncos played in the Childress Tournament over the weekend and struggled to find a rhythm. They went winless in the tourney but had some high spots against the teams.

They took on the host team in the first round and lost to the Cats 27-67. The Broncos struggled to get anything going offensively in the game. Bolin and Herbert finished with 10 points each and had five rebounds together.

They took on Amarillo High JV in the next round and lost 15-54 and Holliday in the third round. They played hard against Holliday and narrowly lost 50-54. Sims had 18 points and five rebounds in the game and Randall had 15 points with seven rebounds. Bolin finished with 11 points, two assists, and a steal in the game.

The Broncos had another close game with Vernon in the final round and lost 33-36. Sims had a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds and Randall helped with five points and 11 rebounds.

The Broncos will open district play against Quanah at home on Friday, December 20, at 8:00 p.m. and will participate in the Lubbock Caprock Tournament over the holidays.
