Freddie Edwards forged a tie at 14 with an 85-yard kickoff return for a score, with Williba scoring from eight yards out to give GCHS the lead. Austin Bonvicino had a 29-yard touchdown reception in the final quarter for the Warriors.

Raheem Beckwith led the Warriors with 116 yards rushing on the night.
