Broncos up-end Falcons, 70-42
Clarendon senior Jmaury Davis accomplished back-to-back dunks in the Broncos’ 70-42 romp at home last week in front of a very boisterous Bronco crowd. Fellow senior Josiah Hearn’s two big shots from outside the arc early on got the crowd into the game early.
Full of big plays all night long, the Broncos caused Bushland to turn over the ball repeatably that they were able to capitalize on. The Broncos looked like a team beginning to gel which allowed them to have a good overall performance.
Five players combined to convert seven three-pointers (three by Hearn) and shoot 78 percent from the free throw line. Besides Smith and Hearn, Tyler Harper, Anthony Ceniceros, and Kaleb Bolin all posted one three-pointer in the game. The Broncos’ hustle and aggressiveness served them well on offense and defense and allowed them the big win.
Smith led the way with 23, Hearn had 16, and Davis put in 10. Harper had nine, Ceniceros added five, and Bolin three. Fresh off an ankle injury, Harrison Howard put in two and was joined by Levi Gates from his inside post position.
The Broncos will begin District play on Friday, January 13, in Memphis and travel to Shamrock on January 17.
