The Brahmas came up a little short in the Bi-District Match-Up vs. East Chambers falling to the Buccaneers in overtime 46-53. The Brahmas seemed to get behind all night and continually had to work to get themselves out of a hole. The Brahmas fell behind by 7 in the fourth quarter but were able to use some timely steals to tie the game and send it to overtime.
In overtime the Brahmas were able to take the lead but were unable to score on back to back possessions after a defensive stop.
For being such a young team the Brahmas had a great season and the future looks bright. The Brahmas lone senior, Jacob Wilkerson, was a valuable part of the team showing his leadership and dedication to doing things the right way, "THE BRAHMA WAY".
The Brahmas want to thank the all the loyal fans especially their families for all of the support throughout the season.
