Richards cornerback Desmond Gallion, whose favorite NFL player is New England wide receiver Deion Branch, made a bold prediction.

“I’d give him my best. I think I’d get him once or twice,” Gallion said while smiling.

Patch caught up to Gallion . He said he’s looking forward to his senior year and playing for a Richards team that will be trying to make some noise.

“I’m looking for the best,” Gallion said of his senior year. “I’m trying to bring my team to a championship.”
