“We’ve got four or five guys over there on the sideline that would do anything to be out there,” said an overcome senior Ben Meyer following South Winn’s 14-12 win over Hudson Friday night. “We’re out there doing this for them!”
The Warriors took care of business on the road, playing on a foggy and rain-soaked night once again. The win meant that the Warriors will be playing from the comfort of their own home in the opening round of the playoffs Wednesday night.
It wasn’t until the football team had loaded the bus and was ready to head back to Calmar when it learned that it had won a share of its fifth straight district title. The news came that Jesup had beat Dike-New Hartford in the final seconds of their district matchup, giving the Wolverines their first loss of the season and the Warriors a share of the Class 2A District 4 championship.
