Early score
Warren’s Mark Davis is off to the races, scoring a first half touchdown during the Dragons’ non-region victory over the previously unbeaten Corry Beavers Friday at Corry Area High School.
"We were really opportunistic (because of turnovers)," said Warren coach Brad Wright. "But it all started with better play at the line of scrimmage."
Warren had five interceptions, including three from Brad Walters. The defense helped quarterback Austin Jerman and the offense hold a lead through the second quarter. Chris McNeal, Cody McGraw and Walters all picked off Corry quarterback Nate Smith in a span of four and a half minutes during the second quarter, and Warren led 21-6 at halftime.
Jerman threw well out of the pocket all game, first finding Mark Davis deep for a 62-yard score.
