Branham had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 15.5 points) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They blew past the Aragon Dons 48-13 at home. That looming 48-13 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Bruins yet this season.
It was another big night for Jack Lewis, who threw for 244 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Richard Martin, who rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Branham's defense and their seven sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Thomas Nguyen and Joel Ruiz-Pineda who racked up five sacks between them.
Branham's victory bumped their record up to 3-1. As for Aragon, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-3.
Branham will be playing in front of their home fans against Christopher at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday. Christopher knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 point or more in their past four matchups -- so hopefully Branham likes a good challenge. As for Aragon, they are on the road again on Friday to play Menlo-Atherton at 7:00 p.m. Menlo-Atherton's defense has only allowed 9.5 points per game this season, so Aragon's offense will have their work cut out for them.
