Warriors Advance to Coosa League Tournament Championship

Early in the game the undefeated Nighthawks gave the Warriors all they could handle.   In the 8th minute Layton Crawford scored the first of his 4 goals to put the Warriors on top 1-0, however, 5 minutes later the Nighthawks netted a free kick from 10 yds out that tied the score 1-1.  Goalkeeper Dathan Curp came up big on several occasions (14 saves). The Warriors went on to chip away at the gritty Nighthawks before finally breaking ahead for good.  The Warriors finished the game 14-5 but the score does not indicate how tough this game was to complete.  Crawford netted 4 goals, Karter Flowers 4, Ryder Megois 3 (hat trick), Grant Vice 2, and Dathan Curp 1.  Ian Shah, Caleb Taylor, and Jackson Camp played extremely well on defense.  Brody Jones finished the night in goal recording 4 saves.  The Warriors will play Ashville Monday night at Maddox field.
