Defensively, the Broncos made good stops throughout the night.

Sims, Jared Musick, and Grant Haynes racked up seven tackles each with Sims getting a QB sack, and Musick getting two tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Finishing the game with six tackles each was Frausto, Colton Benson, and Anthony Ceniceros. Benson and Ceniceros were able to cause a loss on the play tackling behind the line of scrimmage. Smith had four tackles and one interception, McAnear had four tackles and one tackle behind the line, and Dalton Coles racked up four tackles. Waite Dushay, Ranger Drenth, Howard, and Hagood each posted one tackle in the game.

The Broncos will travel to Lubbock Friday, September 1, to take on Trinity Christian at 7:00 p.m.

Clarendon High School freshman Madi Benson ran sixth in the state track meet in the 400M last weekend.

Freshman Madi Benson earned a wildcard to the State Track Meet in the 400m dash at the Regional track meet. Despite finishing third in that race, Benson earned her spot when her time of 1:00.33 in the Regional Meet was good enough for the wildcard.

Last weekend, Benson ran against a strong field of nine runners. Her determination drove her to sixth place finish with a time of 1:00.95. Benson was a little over three seconds behind the first-place finisher, but only six one-hundredths out of fifth. The top four runners finished under one minute.

Benson is an all-around Lady Bronco and will be a contender at next year’s State track meet.
