Thompson, Warriors out to first (5-0) start since 2000

In the first year of head coach's Larry Thompson tenure at Wyoming East, he is already out to a (5-0) start. Coach Thompson led class A Mount View to a 10 win season last year and to the quarterfinals for the firs time since 2003. The Warriors are led by the rushing attack of junior running back Caleb Bower as he has carried the football 119 times for 891 yards and 13 touchdowns. The passing attack has also been sufficient as senior quarterback Seth Ross has completed 49 of his 94 passes for 728 yards and 8 touchdowns. The Warriors look to stay undefeated when The Shady Spring Tigers(5-1) come to The War Zone who currently sits at #12 as The Warriors are #5 in the newly released WVSSAC Playoff Ratings. Can The Warriors stay undefeated and follow into the footsteps of the 1999 team?
