The Branham Bruins are taking a road trip to take on the Overfelt Royals at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Branham is headed in fresh off scoring the most goals they have all season. They were the clear victors by a 7-1 margin over James Lick on Tuesday. Given Branham's advantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 313th, while James Lick are ranked 818th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Branham's offense was hitting James Lick from everywhere, as six different players booted in a goal. Joseph Segura led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by himself.
Meanwhile, neither Overfelt nor Silver Creek could gain the upper hand on Tuesday so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
The victory made it two in a row for Branham and bumps their season record up to 6-3-6. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored nine goals over those two matchups. Overfelt's draw makes their record 2-7-2 this season.
Branham was able to grind out a solid victory over Overfelt in their previous matchup on January 13th, winning 2-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bruins since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
