The Clarendon Broncos suffered two close losses last week to Quanah and Wellington. Both games could have gone either way, but they struggled to get the big shots to fall.
The Broncos lost to Quanah 35-52 and were narrowly outdone by Wellington at 48-52.
In the game with Quanah, the Broncos struggled to find the momentum they needed to get past the Indians. Their free throw percentage came in at 43 percent, and they struggled to get their three-point shots to fall.
Kaleb Bolin led the way with 14 and Colton Caudle put in six. Bolin had eight rebounds, had two assists, and two steals. Caudle grabbed 10 rebounds with one assist, three steals, and three blocked shots. Michael Randall finished with five, Caleb Herbert and Mason Sims had four each, and John Weatherton put in two.
They played harder than the 35-43 loss reveals against the Skyrockets at home Friday night. The Broncos struggled to shut down Wellington’s top scorer who put in 23 points that included 10 shots from the three-point line.
The Broncos stayed with the Rockets in the first quarter of play, but a slow-shooting second eight minutes spelled trouble for the Broncos as they fell behind by eight points due to a big shot in the last ticks of the half. They were able to outscore their opponent in the second half but could not overtake them on the scoreboard.
Randall turned in 17 points in the game, Sims finished with 16, and Bolin put in 14. Sims had eight rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in the game. Randall had six rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block. Caudle had two points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two blocks, while Bolin grabbed six rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks. Misfortune from the bonus line proved to make a big impact as the Broncos only converted at 18 percent.
