Every week, Braylon Pritchett was asked the same question.
Most of the time, the Ridgeland High School senior linebacker would appease his classmates with a smile and a positive answer.
The question was a simple one, but it cut a bit deeper every time Braylon, the son of head football coach Craig Pritchett, faced it.
“Are you guys going to win this week?”
While the answer might have been positive most days, the results were quite the opposite. The Panthers entered last Saturday’s matchup at Walker County rival LaFayette riding a 34-game losing streak, the last 25 with Coach Pritchett in charge.
