Broncos take on Sanford Fritch in Homecoming game

By Sandy Anderberg

The Broncos are working hard on the field and gaining valuable experience in each of their pre-District season games. Despite losing homecoming to Sanford-Fritch 12-20, the Broncos are making strides each week.

Bronco Stadium was filled with alumni cheering on the players on the newly named Kenny King Field.

The Eagles took the opening kickoff but struggled to get anything done. They punted on fourth down but were able to jump on a Bronco fumble to regain possession. They were able to convert that mistake into six points and added the extra point. After turning the ball over on downs, the Eagles were able to add another six to the score.

However; the Broncos had several good plays on both sides of the ball.

Offensively, quarterback Kyler Bell was able to hit several receivers in the game. Caleb Herbert and Michael Randall ran the routes well and marked good yardage in the game. After having a touchdown called back, the Broncos were able to get their first score of the game in the second quarter scrambling on the ground with Markeal Anderson running it in from one yard out. They finished the first half of play only down seven at 6-13.

Sophomore quarterback Kreed Robinson took over for Bell in the middle of the second half and zeroed in on pass receivers Randall and Anderson. Robinson hit Anderson from 30 yards out for a touchdown, but the extra point after was denied. The Broncos were only down one score at 12-20. Randall earned 160 plus total yards and caught several passes from both Bell and Robinson.

Defensively, the Broncos played strong against the Eagles. They were able to record several quarterback sacks while making big stops on the ground and in the air. Neither team found the endzone in the final quarter and the game ended at 12-20.

The Broncos will travel to Highland Park next Friday night, hoping to swat the Hornets and earn their first win of the season.
