In the second quarter, Jorgensen scored on a 3 yard run and the final score was a 1 yard run by Norrid.
In the second half, the Warriors subbed down and let a lot of other guys on the team play.
The Warriors had 26 first downs to Wagner’s 7.
Jorgensen was the rushing leader with 102 yards followed by Peters, 93; Norrid, 62; Kaden Keiser, 30 and Evan Farner, 26.

The final game of the regular season will be Friday, Oct. 12 when Winner will host Woonsocket/Wessington Spring/ Sanborn Central. This will be senior night.
