  Tonight at Indian Valley High School, the Braves (4-1, 3-1  Inter-Valley Conference) had little problem in blowing out the Pirates. The Braves defense forced 18 turnovers, while their offense committed just 9. The Braves hit 6-9 free throws, while Garaway hit just 5-12. Six Braves scored in this one, with senior Luke Wells (6-1, 150) leading the way with 16 points. He had a lot of help from Jackson Murphy and Colt James; each had 14 points. For the Pirates, leading the way with 9 points each was Bronson Speedy and Blaine Raber. Raber scored 47 points his last time out. He seemed to rush many of his shots tonight and had virtually no luck as the ball did not want to go down for him. Eight players scored for Garaway.

Those seniors taught me what it meant to be a part of a brotherhood. They were more than just teammates; they were like older siblings who showed us how to carry ourselves, how to handle adversity, and how to believe in the process. During that championship run, their leadership was unreal. Whether it was in practice, hyping us up in the locker room, or staying calm in those high-pressure moments, they set the tone for all of us. They made us feel like we belonged and gave us the confidence to step up when it mattered most. What was it like playing at Tom Benson Stadium? Playing at Tom Benson Stadium was crazy.

  Charleston, West Virginia Koi Fagen had a roller coaster type of a game; he had fumbles and threw a pick but never wavered in his confidence to lead his Bulldogs to the promised land. When all was said and done, he overcame the bad and the ugly and finished the good with a nice 80-yard run for a score, the clinching points in one of the most competitive games I covered all season. For the game, Fagen would connect on just 4-14 passes for 14 yards, with a pick and a touchdown. He was a beast on the ground, rushing for 289 yards and 2 touchdowns on 21 carries. Boston Todd had just 2 catches, but one was for a touchdown. Kyree Bunny had the other 2 catches for the victorious Bulldogs. Max Anderson had a tough game throwing the ball for Spring Mills. He would throw 2 interceptions on 15-27 passes, good for 156 yards. He was a dog running the ball, leading the Cardinals with 151 yards and 2 touchdowns on 24 carries. 6-6, 197 pounds Xavier Anderson, who looked to be a nightmare mat...
