Winton Woods put the “W” in Warrior

Winton Woods demolished Kings for their 4th win of the season

by Bret Sims

Winton Woods’ junior RB Jeremiah Goins started the scoring and ended the scoring for the Warriors on touchdown runs of 40-yards or more. Goins would score three more TD’s in between as he lead his team in a convincing 55-21 win over FAVC foe Kings.

Some were worried that the Warriors might look past the Knights to next weeks matchup with defending state champion and division foe the Anderson Redskins but coach Troy Everhart made sure that his team was well focused.

“We came out and pounded the football tonight, which is what we wanted to do”, said Everhart which could be the understatement of the year when one considers the fact that Winton Woods racked up 584-yards rushing against Kings’ defense.

The Warriors return 17 starters from last season, many of them being inked for Division I colleges, as they are off to their best start since 2005. They say you can’t teach speed and speed is definitely one thing they have as a team as Kings’ head coach Andy Olds could attest. “The speed at which they play is something that you can’t duplicate…you have to see it to actually believe it at this level”, said Olds.

When asked if he were already thinking ahead to the matchup with Anderson, Everhart responded by saying “I’m going to enjoy this one first and then get back to work on Monday.”

Kings lost their third consecutive game of the season, the longest losing streak in the 11-year coaching history for coach Olds.
