Broncos focusing on playoffs
The Broncos went up against Wellington, who is a top ten team in the state rankings, last Friday night and were defeated 0-49.
The Broncos finished District play in second place to the Skyrockets and will have a playoff game in Hereford Friday night at 7:00 p.m. against Vega.
Things just did not go well against Wellington last Friday night according to head coach Clint Conkin.
The Broncos’ rushing yards, which have been great all season, only amounted to 42 yards against Wellington. Daquawne Oliver, who has been unstoppable, carried the ball six times for only three yards on the night.
Damarjae Cortez has also racked up several yards for the year was stopped at 11 yards on seven carries.
Dalton Benson carried the ball six times for 13 yards, and Ryan McCleskey had eight carries for 20 yards.
Noab Elam was seven of nineteen passing for 76 total yards. Cortez, Preston Elam, Colt Wood, Andy Davis, and Benson each had catches on the night. But the Broncos were unable to find the end zone.
“Our defense played well,” Conkin said. “We had several guys with tackles. We just have to regroup and get ready for the playoffs.”
The Broncos finished their regular season at 9-1 and were 4-1 in District play.

Chuckwagon roundup
The American Chuck Wagon Association recently chose the Saints’ Roost Museum as its site for its annual members meeting held November 3 and 4.
The museum board welcomed 35 association members with a reception in the Depot Friday night. On Saturday morning, museum board members transported association members to the JA Ranch headquarters for lunch served from an historic JA chuck wagon.
Museum board members coordinated the morning events along with JA foreman Randal Gates and his wife, Julie.
The Chuck Wagon Association is an international organization whose purpose is to preserve the history of the chuck wagon era.
This group was instrumental in having the chuck wagon designated as the official state vehicle of Texas in 2005.
The American Chuck Wagon Association named the Saints’ Roost Museum’s annual cookoff its Event of the Year in 2014.
Murray takes questions at H’wick forum
For the second time, a Howardwick candidates’ forum turned into a one-person show last Tuesday, October 24, when a question and answer session was planned for citizens running for alderman.
Jada Murray was the lone candidate to appear at the forum.
Doc Holladay did not attend, and calls by the Enterprise to Holladay’s cell phone were not returned as of press time Tuesday afternoon.
As was the case with the mayoral forum in which only Mayor Pro-tem Eric Riddle attended October 17, Howardwick citizens submitted questions before the event, and moderator Maverick Cruise, a Clarendon College student from Memphis, selected the questions.
Asked about her three top priorities for Howardwick, Murray said the roads were her first priority and discussed reviving the community’s road committee. She also hopes to see the community get together one a month for a social or pot luck dinner, and her third goal is to get more people to move to Howardwick.
“We need to grow,” Murray said. “We need to do anything we can to make people want to come here.”
Early voting in the Howardwick special election continues through Friday, November 3. Election day is November 7.
