Warren topples Clarke
By Jeff Nations - jnations@nvdaily.com
FRONT ROYAL -- Warren County senior quarterback Tyler Post never counts on a two-touchdown spot from the Wildcats' defense.
Post, also part of that defense as a starting cornerback, realizes the offense is supposed to do the scoring. Not that he's complaining though, after Warren County's defense scored a pair of touchdowns and the special teams set up another in Friday night's 27-9 victory over visiting Clarke County.

Wildcats shut down Clarke County
By GREG BRILL
Special to The Winchester Star
FRONT ROYAL — No sooner had the snap went to a Clarke County back, and a swarm of maroon jerseys were ready to make a tackle.
When quarterback Sean McDonald went back to pass, he usually was flushed from the pocket and forced to throw on the run.
Whatever Clarke County tried, Warren County’s defense was ready to counter.
The Wildcats dominated the interior lines throughout their opening football game on Friday night, turning two of the four turnovers they forced into defensive touchdowns in a 27-9 rout at Blanton Stadium.
