The District Championship has eluded the Clarendon Broncos for 11 long years, but Friday, November 5, the Broncos made the short trip to Shamrock and fought hard to take the top spot in the District race.
Clarendon’s 42-41 win over the Irish allowed them to end the season at 8-1 overall and finish a perfect District season with four wins and no losses. The Broncos had to work hard to get the win over the Irish who did not make things easy.
Offense was the name of the game for both teams, and the Broncos racked up big yardage on the ground and in the air. Senior quarterback Brock Hatley was 10 of 13 passing for 155 yards, and the Broncos gained 274 yards on the ground. Fellow senior Jordan Herndon had a great game from his backfield position and accounted for 166 of those yards rushing on only 15 carries and one touchdown. Jmaury Davis caught passes from Hatley seven different times for 117 yards and one touchdown. Josiah Howard played a good game and was able to find the end zone on one pass for 27 yards.
The Bronco defense made big hits all night long and played a great game overall. Aiden Caudle and Herndon led the way with 11 tackles each with Caudle earning a quarterback sack and forced a fumble. Hatley was in on 10 big stops, and Rhett Caison finished with nine tackles. According to head coach Clink Conkin, the Bronco defense had several players that made several tackles.
The Broncos will play for the Bi-District title Thursday, Nov. 11, against Sunray in Bushland. Make sure to buy tickets online as no cash will be accepted at the gate.
