After swapping season-ending losses with Lake View the past two postseasons, the Whale Branch Warriors found themselves on the wrong end of the bargain again Friday, falling, 33-28, at home to the Wild Gators.
Bradford Thompson and KJ Chisholm each scored a pair of rushing touchdowns, but the Warriors’ fourth-quarter rally fell short after Lake View built a 33-14 lead in the third quarter.
Thompson opened the scoring with a long touchdown run before the Wild Gators tied it on a blocked punt. Whale Branch (7-2) lost punter Dayaun Brown, also a two-way starter, to a hip injury in last week’s loss to Bamberg-Ehrhardt.
The teams traded scores with Chisholm breaking the first of two long touchdown runs to tie it at 14, but Lake View regained the lead before halftime and tacked on two third-quarter scores to take control.
