Gallery update: Bucs look to bounce back at Brooke

The Buckhannon-Upshur High School football team will look to break a four-game losing streak when they make the long trip north to Brooke on Friday night.

Like B-U, the Bruins have just one win on the season. Brooke has scored 24 points in their last four games and is coming off a 40-6 loss to John Marshall.

The Buccaneers have had more success offensively and will look to rebound from a stinging 53-6 loss to University last week.

My Buckhannon photographer Brian Bergstrom has posted new high resolution photos from the 2019 season here. Note that gallery access requires a premium membership.
