On the road against one of the state's best, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (3-2, 1-2 Big Rivers Conference), fell behind early to the Warriors (5-0, 3-0 BRC), who controlled time of possession in the first half while also taking advantage of two costly Chi-Hi turnovers.
The second half was much more prolific offensively for the Cardinals, but a defense that saw a little too much action in the first two quarters was not able to slow the Rice Lake attack, as Chi-Hi could never quite get within striking distance of the Warriors juggernaut.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior QB Noah Potter shook off a first half interception and tossed three touchdown passes, while RB Jackson LeMay scored twice, once on the ground and once through the air, and also found the end zone on a pair of two-point conversions.
