By Coach Ashley Emmons The Broadus cross country team is off to a great start! The team has attended three meets so far this season. Their first meet was in Huntley where Rachel Rasmussen and Samantha Perry were the only two runners from Broadus.

The long drive gave the team and Coach Ross Randall plenty of time to contemplate their strategy, and Broadus was able to use that strategy to some effect against Plentywood, as Broadus was able to pull ahead early and keep the lead through much of the game. Broadus quarterback Wyatt Gee had an impressive performance in the air, throwing for 219 yards. Coach Randall said in his years of coaching he...
