GeneralLeave a comment

The Western Branch Bruins took a break from their losing ways and with the help of first year coach Greg Gibson, made it to the playoffs and beat Bethel in the first round. The season that the Bruins had surprised many and shocked the Southeastern District. With this being said, the Bruins are going to be held to a higher standard this year. People know that Western Branch is going to be good and opponents will play them tougher than ever. The graduation of CJ Thomas has left an empty spot at quarterback and more importantly, the graduation of Southeastern District MVP Josh Marriner has left a huge hole to fill at running back. Bruins fans, do not fret. Coach Gibson has a plan.
