The Broncos have begun their season with two wins, the second of which came last Friday night in Ralls with the Broncos’ hard-fought win over the Jackrabbits 12-8.
The Broncos set up a successful offense and finished with 204 total yards. Quarterback Brock Hatley accounted for 35 of those yards through the air after combining with Lamarcus Penigar for 22 yards and Josiah Howard for 13 yards.
The yards on the ground came fairly easy for the Bronco backfield. Led by Penigar, who posted 73 yards rushing on 10 carries, the Broncos used their quickness to get by the Jackrabbits to find the endzone twice in the 48 minutes. Jordan Herndon made one touchdown and went 58 yards on 14 carries, while Hatley posted the other TD and carried the ball five times for 12 yards. Jmaury Davis carried seven times for 19 yards, and Jordan Evans posted seven yards on two carries.
“Our defense played great,” head coach Clint Conkin said. “We had several guys making tackles.” Leading the way was Koyt Tucek who finished with 11 tackles, one QB sack, one caused fumble, and one fumble recovery. Lyric Smith posted 10 tackles, and Davis had nine tackles and two sacks. Hatley turned in six tackles and one sack, and Rhett Caison ended the game with six tackles. Herndon came in with eight tackles, and Evan had eight.
The Broncos will play Bovina Friday night in Bronco Stadium for the Homecoming game beginning at 7:00 p.m.
The junior varsity Broncos moved things around after their first game and shut out Ralls at home 24-0 on Thursday. Grant Haynes, Anthony Brown, and Tommy Tabor found the end zone for the Broncos. The JV Broncos will travel to Bovina on Thursday, September 9.
