The Branham Bruins will be playing at home against the Lincoln Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Branham is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 29.2 points per game this season.
Branham's offense will try to repeat the strong performance it gave on Tuesday, when they got past Pioneer's usually-dominant defense. Branham took their game with ease, bagging a 40-12 victory over Pioneer. Considering the Bruins have won ten contests by more than 19 points this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Branham got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Carla Granados Perez out in front who threw for 352 yards and four touchdowns. 141 of those passing yards were hauled in by Sydney Short, who also brought in two receiving touchdowns.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Branham's defense and their nine sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Short.
Meanwhile, Lincoln earned a 28-18 victory over Willow Glen on Tuesday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Lions.
Lincoln is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 13 matches, which provided a nice bump to their 20-4 record this season. Those victories were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 8.8 points per game. As for Branham, they pushed their record up to 15-2 with the win, which was their tenth straight on the road.
Branham didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Lincoln in their previous matchup back in October, but they still walked away with a 31-25 victory. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Lincoln's Aislin Seaton, who threw for 138 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 75 yards on only seven carries.
