Braham at Barnum
7:15 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 28

Braham is one of the state's most consistently successful programs, posting 20 or more victories every season for more than a decade.

Barnum has nearly equalled the Bombers' achievement with 20 or more wins in six straight seasons.

With this type of quality opponent just an hour away and looking to bolster its nonconference slate, each school decided to add this game to the schedule. After three years, the results have not disappointed, with Braham holding a 2-1 record in the series.

Pulling even this season won't be easy for Barnum, as No. 3-2A Braham enters the matchup with one of its best teams in recent years.

However, Barnum boasts a solid defense, which allows just 46.4 ppg, and could be key in slowing a Braham team averaging 95.3 ppg, making this an impenetrable-force-meets-immovable-object game.
