Orangeville teams show early season strength CORRESPONDENT
Orangeville Tops Galena Last Saturday, the Orangeville Broncos football team hosted the Galena Pirates in what would turn out to be a defensive battle through the finish. The Broncos came into the week three matchup with a record of 1-1, while the Pirates were looking to get their first win as they were 0-2. The Broncos got the first score of the game when none other than Garret Rodebaugh plunged into the endzone for a two yard touchdown run. Orangeville would miss the twopoint conversion. That would not matter, however, as that first quarter score turned out to be the only touchdown of the game. The score would remain a 6-0 Broncos lead until the fourth quarter when they managed to extend the margin to a two score game when Zach Baker nailed a 33 yard field goal. The Field goal gave the Broncos a 9-0 lead that they held onto until the very end. The Broncos tried to air it out a little more in this one but weren’t always successful. Quarterback, Jack Doyle completed four of ten passes for a total of 28 yards. The ground game proved to be the team’s strength once again in week three. Carter Kleckler led the team with 88 rushing yards on 22 carries, he also had three receptions for 29 yards putting him over the 100 yard mark for total yards. Rodebaugh rushed for 48 yards on 18 attempts, but one of those runs proved to be the difference maker in this one as the only touchdown of the game. The Broncos defense was impressive once again, holding the Galena Pirate’s offense to just 127 yards on the day. Kleckler was the leading tackler with eight total tackles. They forced five total turnovers for Galena, four of which came by fum-
ble. Rodebaugh had the fifth, with an interception. Bowen, Baker, Anderson, and Guy each recovered a fumble in the win. The defensive shutout was a big reason they pulled off the victory. Now sitting at 2-1, the Broncos will be on the road this week when they face off with Pecatonica on Friday, Sept. 20. Lady Broncos Impress against Amboy Last Thursday, the Orangeville Lady Broncos’ volleyball squad hosted the Amboy Clippers for a Northwest Upstate Illini Conference matchup. The Broncos came in with a 4-4 overall record, while they looked for their first conference win with an 0-1 league record. The Clippers came in at just 2-7 overall, with a 0-1 conference record. The Broncos got off to a dominating start as they took the first set by a score of 25-12 as they doubled up their opponent. The second set seemed to feature a whole new team from the Clippers as they fought to keep things close until the very end of what would turn out to be a 2522 victory for the Broncos. In game three, Orangeville had their eyes on the sweep and they wouldn’t let anything get in their way as they rolled to another impressive 25-13 victory over Amboy. After completing the sweep the Broncos pushed their record above .500 at 5-4. Hanna Diffenderfer gave the Amboy Clippers fits offensively all night as she racked up a whopping sixteen digs on the night. Tori Plowman was affective offensively for the Broncos with three kills and three aces. Cali Diddens had a great night as well, putting up seven kills and seven digs. Grace Edler had five blocks and four kills as the Broncos earned a great team victory.
