The Broncos’ strong all-around offensive presence catapulted them to a decisive win over the Wheeler Mustangs in Bronco Stadium last Friday night. The Broncos strolled to a 48-20 win with several junior varsity players seeing action. Broncos are 8-1 overall and 3-0 in District.
Senior Brock Hatley led his team on the offensive side from the quarterback position with 69 yards rushing and one touchdown and went four of five passing for 72 yards with one touchdown strike to fellow classmate Koyt Tucek. Overall, the Broncos posted 458 total yards in the game.
Adding to their offensive dominance was a great blocking line and the Bronco backfield. Senior Jordan Herndon, who was coming off a huge game against the SkyRockets, carried the ball 13 times for 144 yards and three trips to the end zone. Jmaury Davis ran big as well and went 133 yards on eight carries. Jordan Evans scored six points from short yardage in the win.
Joining Tucek in leading the way for the Broncos’ passing game was Davis, who made two big catches for 62 yards.
Not only was the Bronco offense too much for Wheeler to handle, but the Bronco defense also played a solid game and were able to make stops when they needed them. The strength and quickness of the maroon and white defense hindered the Mustangs’ ability to move the ball. Tucek has been a strong force all season long on that side of the ball and led the Broncos with 11 tackles, two QB sacks, and one fumble recovery.
Davis and Easton Frausto each had seven tackles in the game.
The Broncos will travel to Shamrock this Friday, November 5, to finish their regular season. They are already secure in post-season play, but a win over the Irish will clinch the District title.
