Branch played on BTW’s 1997 team that reached the State Tournament quarterfinals. He replaces Jeremy Smith, who went 0-39 in two seasons at the helm.

The Bookers have dropped 41 consecutive games dating back to the 2023-24 campaign when they finished 17-12 overall and reached the VHSL Class 3 State Tournament under Levi Wall, who currently is at the helm of the Granby Comets in Norfolk.
