It was also the first winning season for the Warriors since 2005 ... Jay County is without leading rusher Drew Huffman, who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury last week against Bluffton ... This is the first of three straight home games for the Patriots, who host South Adams Oct. 3 for homecoming and then?Leo Oct. 10.
