The Broken Bow Indians improved to 6-2 Friday night with a hard fought 12-6 win over Cozad. The game was scoreless at half. Cozad then took their opening drive of the second half and marched down the field scoring on a 19 yard touchdown pass from Nolan Wetovick to Cord Chytka to take a 6-0 lead. The Broken Bow defense would come up big in the second half forcing three Cozad turnovers. The first was an interception by Kaden McKean which set up a 41 yard touchdown drive capped off by a 1 yard touchdown run by Connor Wells which tied the game at 6-6. The third came in the fourth quarter when Cozad was forced to punt from deep in their own territory. Cozad punter Noah Shoemaker bobbled a high snap and was hit before he could get the punt off. The ball was jarred loose and recovered by Broken Bow at the Cozad 3 yard line setting up a 3 yard touchdown run by Cyrus Wells to give the Indians the lead at 12-6 which they would not give up. Broken Bow will close out the season next week at Minden.
