The Broken Bow football team fell short in their upset bid of top ten ranked McCook on Friday. The Indians went toe to toe with the Bison but McCook would hold on for a 34-20 victory. McCook took advantage of two Broken Bow turnovers in the first half returning an interception for a touchdown and scoring again after recovering a fumble in Broken Bow territory late in the 2nd quarter to build a 14-0 lead at halftime. McCook extended their lead to 21-0 thanks to a 3 play 65 yard scoring drive in the opening minute of the 3rd quarter. However, Broken Bow would fight back. The Indians marched 90 yards and scored on a 3 yard touchdown run by Nathan Reynolds to make the score 21-7 with 3:27 remaining in the third quarter. Broken Bow then made the score 21-14 after Eli Coble scored from one yard out to make it a one score game. But on the ensuing kickoff, McCook’s Brett Fraker returned the kick all the way for a touchdown to put McCook up 28-14. The Indians would not give up though as they marched down the field and scored to climb to within 28-20. Broken Bow was unable to come up with a defensive stop as McCook would score late to seal the win. Broken Bow returns home next Friday to face O’Neill at Mark Russell Field.
Sandhills/Thedford improved to 2-1 on the season with a 44-8 victory over Twin Loup. The Sandhills/Thedford defense set the tone in the first half coming up with four interceptions. Kyle Cox had three touchdown runs in the first half as the Knights led 20-0 at halftime. S/T extended their lead to 36-0 on two more touchdown runs by Cox. Twin Loup got on the board with 2:17 left in the third quarter when Quincey Ryker broke loose for a 62 yard touchdown run. Connor Cooksley scored for Sandhills/Thedford in the fourth quarter to make the final score 44-8. Twin Loup drops to 2-1 on the season.
