The Bruins kept a clean sheet against Lakeland last week. Western Branch took their matchup with ease, bagging a 41-0 victory over Lakeland. With Western Branch ahead 21 to nothing at the half, the game was all but over already.
Meanwhile, Hickory has to be aching after a bruising 42-14 loss to Nansemond River. The result was totally at odds with the teams' rankings as the Hawks enjoy a hefty spot advantage.
The Bruins ended up a good deal behind the Hawks when they played when the two teams last met in September of last year, losing 28-12. Maybe the Bruins will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back on MaxPreps for all the details.
