KEYS TO VICTORY

>> PLAY DISCIPLINED FOOTBALL: Over the past two months, the Bronchos have given up an average of 38 points per game, with the defense on the field for longer stretches at a time. When given the opportunity to get its opponent off the field, the Bronchos have to make the play.

>> SHUT DOWN THE PASS: Frenship’s offense, featuring quarterback Hudson Hutcheson, is averaging 40.57 points per game over the same two-month span. The Bronchos secondary will have to stay disciplined in coverage and possible create turnovers for extra possessions.

>> SUSTAIN DRIVES: Punts were commonplace in last week in the third quarter against Midland High. Like what the Bronchos did in the first and fourth quarters (scoring touchdowns on four of their six drives), they have to replicate that for a full game against the Tigers.
