The competition level ramps up for the WACO Warrior football team tomorrow night when they travel to Springville in the second game of 2021. 

The Warriors kicked off the season last Friday for a week zero game where they had little resistance against Twin Cedars. The 52-0 massacre saw the Warriors put up 342 yards offensively and gave up -10 yards on the other side. Reece Oswald rushed for 115 yards and two scores in a game where the varsity only played one quarter. The Orioles will be a more formidable foe after a 6-3 season in 2020. They lost 1,400 yard rusher Spencer DeMean and 1,000 yard passer Bryce Wilson to graduation, but return leading receiver Luke Menster with his 544 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Springville put up 49 points a night last year. 

WACO Head Coach Chad Edeker knows his team has to be ready. “They lost some seniors, but they will still be really athletic. We have to be tough on the perimeter. Last week our corners did not need to make a single play, but they will need to be ready in this one. I could see them throwing the ball more and seeing a spread set. It will be a different type of ballgame.”

The contest gets underway at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Springville.
