Football '16 . . 3rd in State The Warrior's winning season was highlighted by capturing the League Championship for the first time in the history of Warrenton High School. The brutal practices started two weeks before school, with Coach Mattila's famous Daily Doubles which led the warriors to victory. The season's opening game with Jefferson started the warrior's winning streak. A mid-season game with Knappa brought a close call as the warriors squeaked by with a score of 7-6. The homecoming game with St. Paul proved to be a heartbreaker as the warriors were defeated 14-22. By defeating the Gaston Greyhounds the warriors assured themselves of a chance to compete in the State Playoffs. A crowded spectator bus along with many boosters followed the team to Harrisburg where the warriors would compete in the State Quarter-Finals. The warriors hosted Regis as they battled to determine who would go to the State-Finals. The warriors looked strong until there was a turn-around in the last six minutes of the game. Regis scored, placing them within one point of the warriors. Regis then scored twice more as they raised the score and carried away the victory. Coach Feletar, along with fresh- man and J.V. players wait patiently for their bus.
