The Zachary community, students, family, friends, fans, visitors, athletes, media and more all crowded into Bronco Corral to attend the televised Cox 4 Game of the Week between rival 5-5A schools Zachary and Central.

Zachary High School's 2010 Homecoming court was also presented Friday night, Oct. 15, during the halftime ceremony before a packed and spirited Bronco stadium.

Congratulations, to Senior Jovonni Mariano who was crowned queen!

It was a beautiful fall evening for the festivities and the game between the Broncos and the Wildcats was an emotional nail-biter!

Head Coach Neil Weiner and his Broncos faced off against Head Coach Doug Dotson in the match up with the Wildcats.

The Broncos went into overtime with CHS at 6 - 6.

The two teams tied it up again, making the score 9 -9.

The win was not to be for the Broncos, however, as the Wildcats scored first in the Double OT making it 16 - 9.

With Zachary having final possession of the ball, QB Darol Dewey threw an interception caught by Cooper Moore of Central (5-2, 3-1).

It was the first 5-5A loss for the Broncos (5-2, 2-1).

Tonight, ZHS attends their 2010 Homecoming Dance in the Northwestern Middle School gym from 9 p.m. until midnight.
