Turf Time: Broncos outscored at Jenks

Although the Broncos’ gridiron squad was outscored four touchdowns to one by Jenks at last week’s scrimmage, Coach Ty Prestidge was “real pleased.”

“The guys are getting used to game speed,” he said, noting only two starters return on each side of the ball.

“The speed of the game is a lot quicker than they’ve been used to,” Prestidge said.

He noted that Friday’s game was “much faster than normal game speed,” a compliment to Jenks, who Prestidge believes is one of the top two teams in the state along with Muskogee.

“As the scrimmage went along, we began to get used to it,” he said of the game’s pace. “Their front is really big and quick.”

Mustang’s lone score came on a 10-yard pass from sophomore Kyle Webster to sophomore Tyler Conley.

The team’s only injury thus far is a stress fracture to junior wide receiver/cornerback Stephen Barnes.

On Thursday the Broncos host the annual Pepsi Pigskin Preview.

“We’ll be looking to get our tempo and no-huddle down,” Prestidge said.

Mustang’s varsity will play at 4 p.m. and rotate on offense with Edmond Santa Fe against the defenses of Del City and Bishop McGuinness. After a half hour, Mustang will switch to defense.

The scrimmage will “look like a circus,” Prestidge said.

The junior varsity will start playing at 5 p.m.

The varsity will return to action in a game-like scrimmage with Edmond Memorial at 6 p.m.

The Broncos’ first regular season game is Friday, Sept. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at Yukon.
