Jim Carr added three of four extra points to give the Warriors a 27-0 lead.
Lane added his fourth and final touchdown of the game on a 15-yard run with 8:59 left in the second quarter and Carr’s kick gave the Warriors a 34-0 lead. With 5:58 left in the second quarter, Warrior quarterback Bryan Davis hit Luke Price with a 42-yard pass for a touchdown. Thomas Evans ran in the two-point conversion to give the Warriors a 42-0 lead. Michael Minges ended the first half scoring with a 55-yard touchdown run with 2:41 left. The kick was off and the half closed with the Warriors leading 48-0.
The second half started with the clock being run without stoppage for score or penalty. Red Williams scored on a 22-yard run with 6:35 left in the third. Carr’s kick upped the lead to 55-0. Williams had earlier touchdown runs of 47 and 52 yards called back.
