On Friday, Jordan got the win against Paetow by a conclusive 45-21. The Warriors haven't had any issues with the Panthers recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive win against them.
Patrick Spann was his usual excellent self, rushing for 131 yards and a pair of TDs on only 13 carries. Jordan Hightower also helped out as he racked up 114 rushing yards.

Wright was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles (3.0 for loss).
