NCA Jets Top Broncos In Sloppy Rivalry Game The North Central Jets and Bark River-Harris Broncos had trouble getting into an offensive flow Friday as the teams met in a Skyline/CUP game in Harris. There were numerous turnovers, and the boys who normally lead their respective teams in scoring, Bryce Bilski and Taren Halfaday, couldn't get on track offensively. In a game where neither team led by more than seven points, the Jets topped the Broncos, 47-44. The bleachers were jam-packed with fans, prompting the school to open the balcony bleachers for students to use. NCA improved to 9-1. BR-H is now 9-3. Left photo: BR-H's Taren Halfaday drives to the basket as Ethan Dombowski pursues.

Broncos Rally Past Wolves In District Semifinal                       The Bark River-Harris Broncos lost the first set of a tightly-contested volleyball match Wednesday, but gradually took control to eliminate the Carney-Nadeau Wolves, 3-1. The scores were 24-26, 25-22, 25-12, and 25-21. The Broncos actually thought that they had won the first set too, but Bark Megan Derusha was called for touching the pole on what would have been the winner. Carney then won the set two points later. Nevertheless, BR-H advances to play North Dickinson in Thursday's district title match in Felch. North Dickinson swept Mid Peninsula, 3-0, in Wednesday's other semifinal.
