Undefeated Braves Power Past Waubay-Summit
Veblen, SD · September 28, 2026
Monday mornings always feel a little easier when the local football team starts the week undefeated. Grab your rain jacket before heading out, as gray clouds are set to track across the fields by midday.
The Lead
The Britton-Hecla Braves kept their spotless record intact over the weekend, rolling past Waubay-Summit 40-22 on Friday night to improve to 4-0 on the season. In a contest that tested the Braves' depth following an emotional homecoming victory seven days earlier, the offense leaned on explosive ground play and timely second-half defensive stops to pull away down the stretch. For fans and families across northern Marshall County who make the trek down Highway 10 each Friday, the win solidifies the Braves' standing among Region 1 contenders as the calendar turns toward October. The team now enters a critical bye week of practice before preparing to travel south to face Redfield on October 9, giving banged-up starters time to recuperate while coaches tweak defensive schemes for the mid-season playoff push.
