The Brennan Bears will head out on the road to square off against the Warren Warriors at 7:30 p.m. Brennan knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past seven matches -- so hopefully Warren likes a good challenge.
Brennan is headed into the game after thoroughly thrashing Taft: they outscored them in every quarter.

The result was nothing new for the Bears, who have now won seven matchups by 24 points or more so far this season.

Glass' longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
