ZACHARY - Even on Thanksgiving, the Zachary Broncos are still working as the post season continues.

Thursday, the Broncos, along with other area teams, invited family and alumni to their practices ahead of the quarterfinals.

While focus on the next game is important, Zachary head coach David Brewerton wants his team to enjoy what the Thanksgiving holiday is all about.

"This is going to sound crazy when I say this. I want them to not really think about the football game to be honest with you, you know, especially on Thanksgiving Day. I really stress to those guys about trying to be around their support group and just enjoy being around their family," Brewerton said.

The No. 13 seeded Broncos will travel to play in a rematch with No. 5 Central on Friday. In the regular season, the Wildcats beat Zachary 35-33.
