CBS2 visited football practice last week to gather some footage and experience first-hand the rich tradition of West Branch Football. Sunday, on the station's night-time news broadcast, the segment aired and featured interviews with Coach Pedersen, senior Trey Eagle, and senior Tanner Lukavsky.

"Between Butch Pedersen and The Little Rose Bowl, there's a lot of football history in West Branch. The tradition started long before any of the Bears current players were alive and they have a great appreciation for that."
