Broncos gain two wins

By Sandy Anderberg

The 2022-23 Broncos are making a statement as they supported an undefeated record last week in the race for another District championship. The Broncos made easy work of Shamrock early in the week and handled Wellington 62-44.

The Broncos easily won over the Irish by a score of 67-27 on the road. The Broncos did everything right on both ends of the court and caused Shamrock to struggle to get anything to fall. Lyric Smith and Tyler Harper led the Broncos to the win with 18 and 17 points respectively.

When the Broncos took the court last Friday night against the Wellington Skyrockets, they knew all they had to do was stick to their game plan. The first half of play went just as they wanted it to, and they were playing aggressive defense against Wellington.

However, the Rockets were able to regroup over the break and came out and hit several three-pointers to begin to chip away at the Broncos’ lead.

Free throws were key in the Broncos win as they knocked down 23 of 29 shots for 79 percent. Smith turned up the heat once again and finished with 19 points. Harper had 11, Josiah Hearn put in 11, and Jmaury Davis had 10. Anthony Ceniceros had five and Harrison Howard and Kaleb Bolin put in two each.
