Mike Says: The Brahmas have really turned things around recently. They will continue that success this year with a strong defensive line and a star quarterback in Ty Slanina. Last season they won their games by an average of 28 points. This year will be more of the same. Look for them to go 9-1 or 10-0 in the regular season. Once in the playoffs, they region is very tough with Lexington and Refugio.

Chris Says: I used to really hate playing against East Bernard when I was an Industrial Cobra and usually it was because the wiped the floor with us. The last few years, these East Bernard Brahmas have been looking as tough as the ones we used to play. I have grown to really like this team and what Coach Jerry Long has done there. East Bernard should roll through district again and get a game or two further in the playoffs this year.
