GAME REVIEW
AN EXTRA POINT IS
THE DIFFERENCE
It was not a record-breaking performance, but it was a
back and forth, hard fought game by both teams
By
JOEL RENNER, University Independent

ADA
-
For
the fourth straight season, number one-ranked Lima
Warriors are a 4-0 football team.
The
Warriors played a second divisional rival in the last
two weeks Saturday with a 7-6 win over the Ft. Wayne
Flyers at War Memorial Stadium before a crowd of
dedicated fans.
The match
up was rescheduled to a home game in Ada due to a field
discrepancy with the Flyers home field.
In addition
to beating the Ohio Knights in week three, Lima has now
defeated both opponents in the Ohio Valley Division and
holds a two game lead in divisional standings.
The
Warriors rode the legs of running backs Chris Brooks and
Columbus “Toledo”
Mitchell to victory. Brooks barreled his way over the
Flyers defense for 67 yards on six carries in the game.
Mitchell
was the target of some pre-game heckling by the Flyers.
“We’re
coming to get you Toledo,” said some Flyers players.
Despite any
distractions, Mitchell accumulated 65 yards, including a
three-yard touchdown run with 5:20 left in the third
quarter. On that play, Mitchell acquired his fourth
touchdown of the season and was named the offensive player
of the game.
That was
the lone touchdown for the Warriors, but was good enough for
the win.

GAME PREVIEW
THE BATTLE OF
US-30, ROUND TWO
The Fort
Wayne Flyers will travel east on US-30 for the second
time in two years to play the Warriors

The
Lima Warriors will not have to travel far for their
next away game against the Ft. Wayne Flyers which has
been moved to Ada.
The
change of venues was made due to a field discrepancy
on Ft. Wayne’s home field. This gives the (3-0)
Warriors two home games against the (0-3) Flyers this
season and the Warriors fans one more chance to see
their beloved team at home. The Warriors face the
Flyers for the second home match up August 5, but are
not going to plan ahead.
The game
will be played Saturday, June 24, at War Memorial Stadium in
Ada, OH. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:05 P.M.
The
Flyers are coming off a 16-0 loss to the Ohio Knights on
June 10.
The
Flyers are led by quarterback Eric Adams who has thrown for
133 yards and three touchdowns this season.
Curtis
Martin and Quinten Bowen are the top running backs for the
Flyers. Bowen has rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown while
Martin has rushed for 46 yards this season.
“Their
running backs have speed and run the ball hard,” said coach
John Parkins. “If their line doesn't step up, they will be
in for a long day
with our defense.”
