Broken Bow hosted Class C1 top ten ranked Adams Central for its final home game of the season Friday night at Mark Russell Field. Broken Bow trailed 27-6 at halftime. The top highlight for Broken Bow in the first half came when Braxton Eggleston returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to put the Indians on the board. Broken Bow received the kickoff to start the second half and put together a 92 yard touchdown drive which took over nine minutes off the clock and was capped off by a 13 yard touchdown pass from Cash Kleeb to Adrian Gibbons to make the score 27-12. On the ensuing possession, the Broken Bow defense came up with a big play as Zach Jackson returned an interception for a touchdown to make the score 27-18. After Adams Central extended the lead to 34-18, Broken Bow fought back again as quarterback Cooper White turned a scramble into a 41 yard touchdown run with 7:32 left in the game to make it a one possession game following a successful two point conversion. That would be as close as Broken Bow would get as the Patriots added a late touchdown and the Adams Central defense held down the stretch to secure a 41-26 win. Broken Bow will travel to O’Neill next Friday. O’Neill is now 4-3 after falling to undefeated Pierce 14-7.
