BRANFORD -- Bucs coach Tim Clark is hoping to get a glimpse of his team's strength & weakness in tonight's spring game vs. visiting Dixie County. Branford is coming off a 6-4 season while the Bears (7-7) overcame a slow start to eventually make a 3-win postseason run last fall.
With the game on a running clock, Ollie James account for Branford 8th TD of game with an 11-yd TD pass to Shultz.
