On the ground Kilay Cox chipped in 108 yards. Kaleel Thomas helped Warren's passing attack out by catching 2 balls for 21 yards.

Warren's Jones and Darveon Brown led the league in both passing and receiving yards. Jones has thrown for 1,446 yards this season, while Brown, a 5-foot-10 receiver, has 30 catches for 590 yards. Charles Dabner from the Dragons leads the league in rushing with 585 yards.
An important game coming up in the league this week will be when Crossett takes on the Bulldogs. The Eagles are in fifth place, while Star City is in third place.
Blair Brown's team made the biggest leap in the national rankings this week, rising to 4,009 from 4,657. The improvement was largely due to a 44-14 victory over DeWitt last week.
