Broncos blast off against the Swifts

The Bronco football team has been preparing for the upcoming season since two-a-days began two weeks ago.
They put their skills to the test at Nazareth and walked away with good results from their effort.

According to head coach Gary Jack, the Broncos did a good job in the scrimmage and they gained a lot of insight as to what they still need to work on.

“We did a good job against Nazareth,” Jack said. “Our first team guys dominated on the field, and we scored six or seven times to none for them. We saw a lot of what we needed to see that gives us things to work on.”

Jack said their numbers are down from last year and will not be able to support a junior varsity squad.

“We have a small freshman class coming in, and the sophomore class is fairly small, too,” Jack said. “We have a couple of players injured, and that hurts us. We don’t have the depth we had last year.”

But Jack is quick to say that the guys are working hard and is optimistic about the season.

“We’re doing well,” Jack said. “We just need to stay away from the injury bug.”

The Broncos will have one more scrimmage before the regular season begins.

They will take on West Texas High at Bronco Stadium on Thursday, August 18, at 5:00 p.m. The Broncos’ first game of the season will be August 26 at New Deal at 7:30 p.m.
