The Brenham Cubs will head out on the road to square off against the Belton Tigers at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Brenham knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 31 points or more in their past nine games -- so hopefully Belton likes a good challenge.
Last Friday, Brenham really took it to University for the full four quarters, racking up a 43-7 victory. Considering the Cubs have won seven contests by more than 20 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
