Brophy is coming off a season where they finished with a 24-9 record and entered the open state playoffs as the No. 6 seed. However, they were eliminated in the second round by Basha. The team will look to turn their season around and get back to the open playoffs with a different result in mind.
Next Matchup
The Broncos next match up against the 7-6 St. Mary’s Knights, who are currently a top-10 ranked team in the state. This game will occur on Wednesday, Jan. 3 @ 7 p.m.
Brophy will look to get back on track against a top team in the state.
