The defending State Champions moved one more step closer to a state appearance again as they took down Vega in Canyon last week, 86-65.
The Broncos had a quick start for most of the first quarter of play but allowed the Longhorns to come within one point after eight minutes. After only leading by seven at the break, the Broncos turned up the heat after the break and proved they were worthy of their second-place state ranking just behind Lipan, who they could meet up with at the state game.
The Broncos turned 19 free shot attempts into 17 points for just under 90 percent from the free throw line, while Vega could only muster 50 percent from the bonus line. Where the Longhorn top scorer excelled was way behind the arc as he hit seven three-pointers and accounted for 42 of the Longhorns’ 65 points.
The Broncos stayed determined to get the win to move to the Regional Quarter Final Round and would never allow Vega to catch any momentum in the game. Three Broncos finished in double figures with Jmaury Davis with 28, Lamarcus Penigar with 20, and Cayden D’Costa helped with 13. Davis, Penigar and Jordan Herndon were perfect at the bonus line. Anthony Ceniceros had five points in the game, Herndon had four, and Tyler Harper and Harrison Howard added two points each.
Tuesday night, the Broncos defeated Gruver for the Regional Quarterfinal title and will play New Home Friday night in Levelland to start the regional tournament. Follow Facebook.com/TheEnterprise for updates and future playoff information.
