Strong Performance Not Enough for Warriors

Posted

Despite what coach John Atwell called the Warrenton football team's best performance of the season, the Warriors were unable to escape the first round of districts with a victory. St. Dominic hung on to remain unbeaten, claiming a 14-0 win. Warrenton overcame three first half turnovers by stepping up on defense to keep the game scoreless at halftime. The Warriors had a chance to take the lead on a 22-yard touchdown pass from T.J. Lafaver to Nick Todd early in the third quarter, but the play was called back on an offensive pass interference penalty. St. Dominic went ahead 7-0 with 3:14 remaining in the period on an eight-yard run. The Pioneers second touchdown took a deliberate 11:00 drive of over 20 running plays to finally break free for a nine-yard score. Warrenton fell to 1-7 and will travel to Borgia next Friday. Additionally, Wright City lost 42-0 in its district opener at Orchard Farm. The Wildcats will host Bowling Green next Friday.
