Team record: Overall 3-3; Dual County League 2-1

Big game: Quarterback Wes Morse had 103 yards and two second-half rushing touchdowns.

Game changer: A 31-yard touchdown pass on the last play of the first half pushed the Warriors’ lead to 21-0 at the half.

Unsung hero: Linebacker and guard Eric Nick was all over the field. When he wasn’t making tackles, he was in on the play to assist his teammates, in addition to fighting hard on the offensive line all evening long.

Up next: The Pats traveled to Bedford last night to take on the DCL Thorpe Division-leading Buccaneers.
