Branch By STEVE STEER News Sports Reporter West Branch used some key foul shots by Dave Snoddy and Jerry Weingart in the closing seconds of game to eke out a 58-54 victory over Poland.

The senior co-captain then calmly stepped to the free throw line and tossed in both ends of a one- and-one to up the lead to four.
