They kept this energy up until the middle of the second quarter when the Broncs scored the first touchdown, now making the score 7-0 Broncs. In response the T-Birds kicked a field goal now making the score 7-3 Broncs going into half time.
At halftime both cheerleaders showed off their state dance routine. As each side cheered for them, showing off their good sportsmanship. And the band was active creating an even better atmosphere for both the players and audience. Switching between who plays to show off their skills.
Heading into the third quarter tensions are high with such a close game, anyone can pull it off and win. As Sheridan showed their determination to win this game and keep their winning streak alive, they scored once again making the score now 14-3 Broncs. The momentum switches as the T-Birds start losing hope but still push through.
Now in the fourth quarter the Broncs spirit and momentum was high, and helped the players push through and want to win more. The Broncs scored one last time to finish off the game 31-3 Broncs.
When handing out trophies it was quiet, and somber. The East high seniors were sad that they couldn’t pull a win for the last time. But the under-class man and the coaches were sad but still had hope for the next year and the possibility that we could win.
