The Bronco basketball team made short work of the Perryton Rangers on the road last Tuesday night defeating them, 66-25. The Broncos’ outstanding defense caused several turnovers and their offensive teamwork spelled trouble for their opponent in the one-sided win.
Three players finished in double figures with senior Junior Ceniceros leading the way with 13 points. Freshman Bear Smith posted a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Keandre Cortez added 11 points in the win.
The Broncos busted out of the gate with a big start in the opening quarter. As the second period rolled around, the Broncos not only established a rhythm, they controlled the game in a dominating way.
“We did a good job of sharing the ball,” coach Brandt Lockhart said. “Whenever you have five guys with nine points or better and 24 assists as a team, you are always going to have a good night. I was also pleased with our half-court defense.”
Marshal Johnson and Chance Lockhart added nine points each to the win, and Colt Wood helped with five. Bryce Grahn had four and Damarjae Cortez put in three. Johnson and Grahn also added six rebounds each and Wood had eight assists and Grahn six. Grahn stole the ball four times and Wood grabbed three steals.
The Broncos will take their 2-0 record to the Claude Tournament December 3-5 with times to be announced.
