The Jackson Broncs made short work of the Riverton Wolverines Friday, easily winning their quarterfinal round matchup and earning a visit to Afton to take on the Star Valley Braves.
Sophomore Clancy Meagher posted two touchdown runs and a TD pass catch, and Jeydon Cox added three rushing scores of his own on the way to a 272-yard night.
Head coach David Joyce rested his starters in the fourth quarter as Jackson sewed up a 48-6 victory and move on to face an undefeated Star Valley this Friday in Afton for a 3A semifinal round matchup.
Jackson’s defense again played a bend-but-don’t-break style, surrendering yards between the 20s but stiffening when necessary and forcing opportune turnovers when needed. Peter Goettler grabbed another interception, the defensive line was stellar, and Kirby Castagno was all over the field, defensively.
Before their game, Jackson players already knew Star Valley had won its game earlier over Douglas by a 45-12 score. The Broncs sent a message of their own to the Braves with their 42-point victory.
In other 3A playoff games: Cody held serve against Worland, beating the Warriors 55-26. Powell upset Lander Valley 41-14. Powell will travel to rival Cody for a semifinal game there with the winner of that game facing the winner of the Star Valley-Jackson contest for the state title.
