LowcoSports.com
With a week off and a red-hot Allendale-Fairfax team coming to town, the undefeated Whale Branch Warriors were ripe for an upset Friday night.
But the Warriors weren’t having it.
After leading just 7-0 at halftime, Whale Branch pulled away after the break for a 42-8 rout to stay perfect and remain on track for a season-ending showdown with Bamberg-Ehrhardt for the region title.
After being stymied by the Tigers in the first half, KJ Chisholm took over for the Warriors’ offense, rushing nine times for 74 yards
and three touchdowns, going 2-for-2 for 30 yards passing, and hauling in a 33-yard pass from Jermon Bowers. The defense and special teams took care of the rest.
Jayden Young took a kickoff return 85 yards for a score; Zaire Polite added a 48-yard scoop-and-score along with five tackles; and Bradford Thompson (11 tackles, 2 TFL, 2 sacks, FF) and Alonzo Allen (10 tackles) anchored another strong defensive effort for Jerry Hatcher’s squad.
The Warriors (6-0, 2-0) travel to Branchville on Friday before closing the regular-season at home against Bamberg-Ehrhardt on Oct. 27 in the WSAV CW Friday Night Blitz Game of the Week with Karl DeMasi and LowcoSports.com’s Justin Jarrett on the call.
