On Thursday, Oct. 24, the JV football team secured a 13-6 victory over the Stony Point Tigers. The Warriors outmaneuvered their opponents on the field, leaving them in the dust all game. 

The Warriors didn’t waste any time on the field as they bulldozed past the Tigers, scoring a touchdown early in the first half, they secured their lead and planned on maintaining it. 

“Watching our defensive line brings relentless pressure all game,” Coach Wesley Moss said.

The Warrior defense was at a season-high high, constantly intercepting passes, and forcing the Tigers onto their back foot. Soon, the Warriors’ defense began to falter as quick run plays broke through the offensive line, eventually scoring to bring the score 7-6 with the Warriors in the lead. However, this wasn’t enough to disturb them as the Warriors stayed in the zone.

“We adjusted some blocking schemes that proved pivotal in our scoring drives,” Coach Moss said.

At the half, Coach Wesley Moss gathered the players to give them one last piece of advice to guarantee their victory in the second half. The Warriors soon retook the field at the beginning of the third with one goal in mind, stay ahead.  The Warriors jammed another in and scored another touchdown, more than doubling Stony Point’s score at 13-6. 

“Watching our O-line dominate their defensive line was the best moment in the game,” Coach Moss said.

The offensive stayed consistent with their effort, not letting any signs of fatigue show, even under pressure from the Tigers’ defensive line.  The big takeaway from the game was the definite shift in improvements on both sides of the ball, hyping the players and the crowd throughout the game. 

“This was a good win to break away from the losing skid,” Coach Wesley Moss said.

The Warriors will go to Vandegrift to face off against the Vipers on Thursday, Oct. 31.
