CHS senior receives academic recognition
Clarendon High School Principal John Moffett announced recently that senior Toby Leeper has been named a Commended Student in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program.
A letter of commendation from the school and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation was printed to the student at a Bronco Pep Rally.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2024 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2024 competition by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.
“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” an NMSC spokesperson said. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”

Broncos roll the Mustangs in District opener
By Sandy Anderberg
The Broncos breezed to a victory at home last Friday night in a 42-0 shutout over the Wheeler Mustangs in their District opener.
Solid play on both sides of the ball put the Broncos in a good spot going into this Friday’s game in Quanah at 7:00 p.m.
Taking over the helm as quarterback while senior Harrison Howard is out due to a collarbone injury was fellow senior and Bronco running back Lyric Smith. He was able to throw for 140 yards, two touchdowns, and racked up 241 yards rushing finding the endzone twice. Overall, the Broncos posted 311 total yards.
Mason Sims, Easton Frausto, Colton Caudle, Quay Brown, and Shane Hagood were all on the receiving end of Smith’s passes. Sims was three catches for 49 yards, Caudle grabbed five passes for 49 yards and one TD, and Brown had one receiving touchdown for a total of two catches and 37 yards. Frausto had two catches for eight yards and Hagood caught one pass in the game.
Hagood shined in the backfield for the Broncos and added 30 yards rushing on 11 carries.
Both Bronco lines played strong all over the field and stopped the Mustangs all night long. From Wheeler’s first offensive possession to their last series, the Broncos held them to three and out several times and added a safety late in the game.
Senior Jared Musick led the way with eight tackles and Sims and Anthony Ceniceros followed with seven each. Dalton Coles wrapped up six and Smith, Caudle, and Grant Haynes had five apiece. Bryce Williams and Ranger Drenth each grabbed two. Ceniceros and Drenth teamed up to sack Wheeler’s QB once.
