We Interrupt Coverage of the High School Hostage Crisis to Bring You a Local Sports Update

4/01/2010

EAGLE, ID – We interrupt our continuing coverage of the hostage situation at Rhobeson High to bring you a local sports update: the Boise State Broncos won tonight’s Tostito’s Fiesta Bowl 17 – 10 after capitalizing on three turnovers by an unbeaten Texas Christian University.  After both teams struggled to get their high-octane offenses into the game, a fake punt and pass play late in the fourth quarter by Kyle Brotzman yielded a 29-yard gain and set up a 2-yard touchdown run by Doug Martin. “A play here, a play there can turn the tide,” said Boise State coach Chris Petersen. “Our hat’s off to TCU. This game could have gone either way. We were fortunate to pull it out.” On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Brandyn Thompson twice intercepted TCU’s Andy Dalton, returning the first for a 51-yard touchdown. We will return to coverage of the Rhobeson High School hostage crisis in a moment, after hearing from Chris Petersen in the post-game press conference.
