THE GAME
This will be the ninth meeting between these two teams. In last year's second meeting, The
Warriors set a new team record for points scored (81) and PAT's made (10). Quarterback Corey
Minnfield threw for six touchdowns in the game, which tied his own record. Ironically
Minnfield also threw for six touchdowns in the HFL season opener against Mansfield in 2010.
WARRIORS STAY UNDEFEATED
The Warriors were able to defeat the Columbus War Eagles by a score of 28- suburban
Columbus. Running back Toledo Mitchell ran for two touchdowns, while Ladonn Coleman and
Porfirio Sutton each had touchdown receptions. Linebacker Pierre Jackson had six tackles to go
with four sacks. Tyler Bly continued his solid play since joining the Warriors, registering four
tackles in the second half after missing the first half of the game. Former Kenton Wildcat Billy
Cozad came up with two interceptions in the game to solidify the Warrior defensive effort.
THIS WEEKS OPPONENT
Mansfield comes in a record of 0-3. The Marauders have only scored six points so far on the
young season. Last year, they finished with a record of 1-9 and are looking to improve upon that
in 2011. This will be the first of two meetings between the two teams. They will play in
Mansfield on July 30th at Malabar Middle School.
HONORING THE PAST
The Warriors will be honoring the 2011 Hall of Fame class at Halftime. They include former
player Dustin Hunt, former players and coaches Nick Perez and Tracy Rhoades, and former front
office member Kelly Bott. The team also plans to honor the Lima Astros, which was the first
semi-pro football team in the Lima area in the mid 70's and the memory of the late Ray Crisp,
who was a coach for several years in the Limaland area.
