Broncos rebound to state semifinals under new lineup
Dayton Broncos, after an 1-3 start in 2007, roared through District 22-4A and the Class 4A playoffs to reach the state semifinals. Coach Jerry Stewart credited six changes, including A J Dugat shifting to wide receiver and two-way duties for Dugat and Paul Fontenot, as key to the dramatic turnaround. Cody Green’s injury early season was a setback, but the team finished 11-4 and made its deepest playoff run to date.
