West Potomac to Test Lake Braddock Friday at Burke
Both teams are undefeated, and the Bruins escaped last year's encounter with a 24-21 win.
BURKE, VA — Coming off a 36-7 win last week against neighborhood rival Robinson in the so-called Battle of Burke, Lake Braddock has another test tonight at 7 when it plays host to unbeaten West Potomac.
The Bruins (3-0) are No. 6 in the Washington Post prep football rankings but the Wolverines (3-0) come into the game knowing they're more than capable of hanging with Lake Braddock.
A year ago, West Potomac lost 24-21 at home against the Bruins in the Conference 7 tilt.
