The Dayton Pirates will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Warrenton Warriors at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Dayton will be strutting in after a win while Warrenton will be coming in after a loss.
Dayton is headed out to face Warrenton after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Dayton was the clear victor by a 34-12 margin over Elmira on Friday.
Dayton can attribute much of their success to Stephen Macias, who rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown.
Macias wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Dayton was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 418 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 287 rushing yards in 13 consecutive contests dating back to last season.
Dayton's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Pedro Cisneros and Makoy Fleeman. That's the most rushing yards Cisneros has posted since back in September of 2023.
Meanwhile, Warrenton had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell just short of Amity by a score of 16-14 on Friday.
Everything went Dayton's way against Warrenton in their previous matchup back in September of 2023 as Dayton made off with a 41-18 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Dayton since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
