WARRIORS EFFICIENT IN SHUTOUT WIN

The Warrenton Warriors needed just two plays to score 20 points Friday night on the way to a 39-0 win over the Neah-Kah-Nie Pirates at Rockaway.

Warrenton's Brandon Garcia returned the opening kickoff 67 yards for a touchdown. On Warrenton's second play from scrimmage, Eric Gantenbein hooked up with Dallas Moses on a 68 yard touchdown pass. Before the Warriors saw the ball again on offense, Dan Wolfe intercepted a pass and returned it 60 yards for a score. Michael O'Casey, who rushed for 82 yards on nine carries, scored on a 2-yard touchdown run before the first quarter was out and the rout was on.

With the game comfortably in hand, Warrenton quarterback Eric Gantenbein had an easy night, completing both of the passes he threw before taking the rest of the night off.

Steven Peterson came off the bench to rush for 17 yards, including a 5-yard second quarter touchdown. He also recovered a fumble. Garcia added an interception and Josh Engebretson recovered a fumble for Warrenton. Beau Torres rushed for 69 yards on six carries, dashing 59 yards for a touchdown on the third play of the second half. Dallas Moses caught both of Warrenton's passes for 85 yards and a touchdown.

Neah-Kah-Nie running back Taren Keesey accounted for 159 of the Pirates 164 total yards on 33 carries. Warrenton accumulated 315 yards of total offense with reserves getting extended playing time.

The Warriors, now 5-2 and 2-1 in league, can throw their hat into the Lewis & Clark League title race with a win at Rainier on Friday.
