“We came out playing hard,” Woodward said after the game. “Our line was doing a great job controlling the line of scrimmage and our players played hard. Some things didn’t go our way, however, and Rosemont is a really good team who took advantage of some of our mistakes. I’m proud of my guys and we will bounce back.”

While individual statistics from the Rosemont game were not available at press time, the Warriors showed promise in their previous outing against Bradshaw Christian. Junior quarterback Robert Rubio completed six of 18 passes for 96 yards, while senior receiver Anthony Harrison hauled in four catches for 79 yards, including a 38-yard reception.

On the ground, senior Tucker Alexander provided a spark with 23 yards on two carries, including a 19-yard run. Senior Nick Pena added 17 yards on four attempts with a long of 14 yards.
