West Branch had a rough outing against Bellevue two weeks ago, but a little bit of home cooking seems to have fixed things right up. West Branch put a hurting on North Cedar to the tune of 52-14. Followers of West Branch probably expected little less of the team in a season in which they have collected five blowout victories.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 20-57, which was the final score in Northeast's tilt against Cascade last Friday.
