After two games on the road, Branham is heading back home. They will welcome the Leigh Longhorns at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Branham will be strutting in after a win while Leigh will be coming in after a defeat.
Last Friday, Branham was fully in charge, breezing past Oak Grove 41-12. Given the Bruins' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 385th, while the Eagles are ranked 771st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Branham didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Christian Duarte and Logan Roza.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 34 points the game before, Leigh was a bit more limited in their matchup last Thursday. They came up short against Christopher, falling 32-7. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Longhorns have suffered since November 17, 2023.
Branham's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-3. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 42.0 points per game. As for Leigh, they now have a losing record at 4-5.
Branham and Leigh were almost perfectly matched up in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, but Branham suffered an agonizing 13-12 defeat. Thankfully for Branham, Tyler J. Donaldson (who threw for 187 yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
