The Broncos came up big in the second half of play against the Wheeler MustangsFriday night and defeated them, 36-27.
The Broncos made a great showing in the second half in their come-from-behind win to go 2-1 on the season. The Broncos racked up 370 total yards with only one turnover.
Several Broncos stepped up their game and put great numbers on the board. Quarterback Chance McAnear, who threw for 278 yards, was part of five touchdowns, throwing four and running one in for six more. Clarendon’s receivers were spot-on and Diego Santos lit up the night for the Broncos catching six passes for 153 yards and three touchdowns. Great catches were also made by Jonah Sell (one touchdown), Tyler Burch, and Trevor Cobb.
“Our offensive line gave Chance great protection,” head coach Gary Jack said. “And he put it on the money every time.”
The Broncos had to play catch-up in the second half after trailing by a touchdown at the break. Clarendon was able to put up a very impressive thirty points in the second half.
“It is tough to play at Wheeler,” Jack said. “It was a pretty physical, old-fashioned game. But we’re getting there and we’re still working on the little things.” Jack gave credit to several players in the game.
“Corey Barker, Jonah Sell, John Pigg, Tres Hommel, Diego Santos, Trevor Cobb, and Chance McAnear really played well. And our line did a great job blocking, John, Tres, Austen McNelly, Rowdy Speed, Adam Topper, and David Johnston.”
The Broncos will have a tough game against Gruver next Friday night for Homecoming.
“Our defense is a little banged up so we hope to be healthy with enough people with experience to play hard against a good Gruver team.” The Homecoming game will begin at 7:30 pm in Bronco Stadium Friday, September 21.
