Broncos looks to climb back into playoff contention
LIND — The Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos (2-8) are eager to bounce back from a down year last season, which saw a team finding their way after losing key contributors from the 2024 roster. The silver lining being a lot of young guys last season can carry their new experience with them into this year. “We come into a season (in 2025) where I think we graduated about 3,000 yards of offense,” Head Coach Brendan Bermea said. “Then we had a bunch of older kids, but they weren't kids that had ever been in a position where they had to be the production. We did our best, but we struggled scoring, and then we struggled stopping people at times. But we improved towards the end of the season, that was the positive.”
