The Clarendon Junior High Colts have had a strong season and were able to slide by the Greyhounds 40-24 at home last week. Their first-half dominance over their opponent gave them the commanding lead they needed to get the big win.

Quarterback T.J. Smith was on fire in the first two quarters of play and was responsible for four of the Colts’ touchdowns in the first half to give them a 32-0 lead at the break. Darren Smith was responsible for the last Colt touchdown from his running back position. It was Smith’s first TD of the year.

Defensively, the Colts were solid once again. Colton Henson grabbed one interception and had several tackles from his safety spot. Zy Matthews, who also plays a safety, had a forced fumble that he recovered, and racked up several Colt tackles.

Coaches Semans and Kelley are enjoying their hard-working team.

“The boys have continued to work hard and find ways to compete every day,” Semans said. “We are experiencing a lot of success and are looking forward to working hard to continue winning,” Semans and Kelley said.

The Bronco junior varsity squad also took on the Greyhounds at home last Thursday night. Despite playing hard, the Broncos lost 6-49. According to Coach Aaron Smith, the Broncos’ only six points came from Don’Jae Orr. Smith credited Brentley Gaines as having three catches from quarterback Braxton Gribble.

The Colts and Broncos will hit the field strong this week as they prepare for a road trip to Lockney next Thursday, September 25, at 5:00 and 6:30 p.m.

The varsity Broncos lost to Gruver 49-0 last Friday. Clarendon CISD again did not provide stats to the Enterprise by press time. Clarendon plays Lockney on the road this week.

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.
