After only a week of practice the Broncos did not begin their 2011-12 season as they had planned by taking a 33-66 loss at Bushland Friday night.
The Broncos lost several players from last year’s stellar season and are now rebuilding with several newcomers to the varsity squad.
The Broncos jumped out and played hard against the Falcons in the first quarter of play, but went cold before the break, which allowed their opponent to take a commanding lead. Offensively, the Broncos were plagued by turnovers. After gaining the momentum in the game, Bushland never looked back and got the win.
According to head coach Brandt Lockhart, the Broncos wore down as the game proceeded.
“We got off to a good start, but ran out of gas,” Lockhart said. “The second quarter we could not buy a basket and we had too many turnovers.”
Scoring: Diego Santos 11, Cole Ward 10, Wes Williams 6, Trajen Johnson 2, Cody Wood 2, and Adam Topper 2. Also playing for the Broncos: Mitchell Perry, Trevor Cobb, Jonah Sell, Jayson Pigg, and Tyler Burch.
The Broncos will play Paducah at home November 29 beginning at 8:00 p.m. and will participate in the Arbor Academy Tournament December 1-3.
