The Broncos had their chance to stay undefeated on the season, but Thibodaux took advantage of a late Zachary miscue to grab a 32-20 win last Friday night.

After a Zachary fumble, the Tigers moved ahead 12-7 on a 2-yard run by Johnson.

The Broncos scored the only points in the second period as Justin Kinchen caught a 30-yard scoring strike from Hills and Garret’s PAT provided Zachary a 14-12 lead at the break.

Thibodaux reclaimed the lead in the third period when Jaquan Chenier scored from five yards out. Johnson ran in the two-point conversion, which put the Tigers ahead, 20-14.

Zachary tied the game in the fourth quarter when Hills connected with Scott for a 30-yard touchdown, but a failed extra point prevented the Broncos from taking the lead.
