Wow.  That is all I have to say.  What a great way to start the season for our young guys.  If you missed it, you missed one heck of a game.  We started off quick and jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the second half.  Then, Mesa made a game of it by scoring two td's late and converting on both two point conversions.  They kicked the onside and it went out of bounds and we took over for one last possesion.  With Mesa having 3 timeouts left, we needed at least one first down to secure the win.  After two short runs by Velencio Gray, we were faced with a 3rd and 8.  This late in the game, normally you would run a safe play or high percentage pass, but not us.  Juan Zazueta lined up wide and Dakota Harlan hit him deep down the sideline for a huge gain and a 1st down conversion to secure the win.  There were a few highlights to point out in the game. They were, but are not limited to: Valencio Gray's 98 yard TD run, Dakota Harlan's 2 TD passes - one to Billy Seuing and one to Jason Alldredge.  Defensively, the Warriors were led by Hunter Huish and Dustin Owens in the middle, and a defensive line that got after it all game long.  Overall, the effort that our players put forth the entire game was outstanding.  A lot of our players played both sides of the ball and it takes a tough minded person to take that many snaps.  I look forward to seeing them in action next week.
