Photos: Clovis North football beats Central in Central Section D1 championship

Broncos win third CS title and first since 2012 with comeback win over the red-hot Grizzlies of Central-Fresno

Most of the Clovis North football players have been playing together since grade school. 

That cohesion and brotherhood largely explains their 13-0 record and Friday's 24-14 comeback win over Central-Fresno for the Central Section Division 1 championship at Veteran's Memorial Stadium on the campus of Buchanan High School. 

They simply didn't want their season, or time playing together, to end. 

The Broncos fought back from a 14-7 halftime deficit to outscore a red-hot Grizzlies' squad 17-0 in the second half to secure the program's third section crown and first since 2012. 

• GAME VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

Mckay Madsen rushed for 120 yards and three touchdowns and Darius Storey delivered one of three turnovers, the key one with an interception inside the Clovis North 10-yard-line in the fourth quarter.
