Warriors clinch 3rd place in Region 7-AAAA. Raiders fall to 1-8 overall.
The White County Warriors were victorious once again Friday night in what was clearly a defensive game with a 33 to 30 win over the West Hall Spartans.
West Hall scored first early in the game that was quickly followed by two impressive touchdown passes to Warrior Ty Ulrich for a halftime score of 12 to 7, Warriors.
In the second half, it was White County who scored first, followed by 2 more West Hall touchdowns. Allowing West Hall to climb back on top 21 to 20 at the end of the 3rd quarter. A final touchdown from the Warriors brought 6 more points to the White County total.
With only seconds left to play and the Warriors with possession deep in their own territory, #22, Caleb Crane was handed the ball for what could only be described as an unconventional play. He ran the ball backward into their own end zone giving West Hall 2 points with a safety but, more importantly, running out the game clock.
Final score 33 to 30, White County.
The win sealed third place in Region 7-AAAA for the Warriors who will close out the regular season next week at home against Marist with a shot to claim the region title.
