“It is always a good match when Jamestown and Warhill play. You can have the better team statistically, you can have better athletes individually, but when it comes down to Jamestown and Warhill playing; the team that will come out on top will be the team that plays together and makes less unforced errors”. -Warhill High School Coach Greg Koon. With intensity and confidence in the air, both teams warmed up with enthusiasm and a sense of focus on being the victors of tonight’s game. Both teams entered this contest with one loss.
