Kolbe Fielder connected with Elijah Zamora to even the score at halftime 6-6. The Broncos took the lead early in the 3rd quarter. After Fielder completed multiple passes to Brayden Shives and Jacoby Duncan catching a double pass from Brayden Shives, Tristan Johnson punched it in on a run. Landyn Brown was able to kick the extra point for 2 more points to give the Broncos a 14-6 lead. The Blackhawks of Harwood responded with a score of their own, but missed the kick giving the Broncos the lead 14-12 with 5 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. On the kickoff the Blackhawks converted on an onside kick which gave them the ball on our side of the field. Harwood drove the ball all the way to the 1 yard line. With no timeouts left and 11 seconds left on the clock the game came down to one last play. If Harwood scored, they win. If Bedford got a stop, we win. As the ball was snapped Darien Tallie, Christian Haley, Caleb Jones, and Landyn Brown all got penetration through Harwood’s offensive line. The Blackhawks handed it off to their beast running back, but he was cut down by Caleb Jones and Landyn Brown. Haley and Tallie helped bring him down to give the Broncos a well-earned victory!
