WEBBERS FALLS - Warrior quarterback Chad Dandridge ran for two touchdowns and passed for two more on Friday night to guide Webbers Falls to a 40-0 victory over Agra at Smokey Cox Stadium.

The Warriors scored four touchdowns before the break to build a 26-0 lead and their defense held Agra off the scoreboard as Webbers Falls moved to 3-2 overall with the non-district win.

"It was our third shutout of the year and I thought our defense played reall well," said Webbers Falls head coach Jeff Jones. "Offensively, we started out well, but Agra started bringing the house after that and slowed us down in the second half."

The home team went in front less than four minutes into the game when Mitchell Carman ran one yard for a touchdown. On Webbers Falls' next possession, Dandridge passed 20 yards to A.J. McFarland to make it 12-0 with 5:34 left in the first quarter.

Dandridge went to the air again early in the second period, hitting Jacob Glad for a 24-yard TD pass. Cody Gaxiola ran for the two-point conversion and the Warriors led 20-0 with 11:49 left in the half.

Dandridge added a three-yard touchdown run before halftime as Webbers Falls took command of the game.

Gaxiola busted loose for a 44-yard touchdown run three minutes into the third quarter and Hunter Hume ran for the conversion to extend the Warriors' lead to 34-0.

Dandridge completed the scoring in the fourth quarter with an eight-yard touchdown run.

Webbers Falls totaled 365 yards of offense. Dandridge completed 9-of-12 throws for 160 yards. Glad was the top receiver with four receptions for 97 yards, while McFarland caught two for 46, Carman two for 14 and Kile Turley one for three yards. Gaxiola had a team-high 54 yards rushing on two carries. Hume ran 11 times for 50 yards, Dandridge 11 for 44 and Allen Lea six for 41 yards.

McFarland led the Webbers Falls defense with 22 tackles from his linebacker spot. Justin Lea made 12 tackles, Mitchell Carman 11, Allen Lea 11, Turley nine, Cody Bukowski six. Gaxiola five and Tyler Stephens four. Allen Lea also had three of the Warriors' six sacks in the game.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher.
