CHERRY TWP — Visiting Bradford came in with its sights set on ending a 23-game losing streak, dating back to October 2019.

After falling behind by two scores in the second frame, Moniteau’s Hunter Stalker and David Dessicino had other plans.

The former rushed for a total of 160 yards, while the latter passed for a crucial touchdown before halftime. Both grabbed interceptions that helped keep the Owls scoreless in the second half and the Warriors came out on the right side of a 29-19 decision.

It was a battle of contrasting philosophies, as Bradford relied on sophomore quarterback Talan Reese’s arm and the hosts went for 289 yards on the ground.
