They’ve got heart, size, and smarts — and at Broomfield High School, the Eagles are betting big on their offensive line.
The defending state champions picked up right where they left off. Broomfield opened its season at home Friday night with a decisive 31–13 victory over the Frederick Golden Eagles, powered by a breakout performance from freshman Kashus Clarvoe. It didn't take long for the crowd to erupt — Clarvoe with a 75-yard kick return touchdown in the first quarter, immediately setting the tone for the night. The Eagles led 8–3 after converting a two-point attempt, and Clarvoe continued to make an impact throughout the game. He rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on eight carries, including a 36-yard run — his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season. Frederick showed flashes, including a strong connection between quarterback Preston Kissinger and senior Sonny Delpizzo in the first quarter. But despite a pair of field goals and a late touchdown, the Golden Eagles couldn't keep pace. Clarvoe sealed the win in the fourth quarter with his second rushing touchdown, giving Broomfield a comfortable margin in their season opener. Head coach Robert O'Brien described the performance as "sloppy," but said he was pleased with the result. The Eagles now shift their focus to Monarch with O'Brien emphasizing a mindset of hard work, humility, and discipline as they begin their title defense.
