Player of the Week, Sports, Team FYN Sports September 28, 2019
For the second time this season, Team FYN Sports is excited to announce Jesse Moose as the player of the week.
Jesse was an unstoppable force on defense tonight, and was a bright spot in an otherwise forgettable game. He had multiple sacks and tackles for loss throughout the game. Even when the Warriors were down as high as 28, he kept on making big plays. He also recovered another fumble, reminiscent of his heroics from earlier in the season.
Congrats to Jesse for once again being named Team FYN Sports’ Player of the Week for the White County Warriors.
Team FYN Sports Player of the Week – Riley Stancil #10
Player of the Week, Sports, Team FYN Sports November 2, 2019
Team FYN Sports is excited to announce the Player of the Week for the White County Warriors – RB Riley Stancil. Stancil had his best game of the season for the Warriors in their victory over Chestatee.
Stancil made multiple big plays running the ball tonight, and was consistently gaining yards every time he ran the ball. With almost every carry, it took multiple War Eagle defenders to take him down. Stancil scored on both a rushing and receiving touchdown, giving him his first multi-touchdown game.
Congratulations to Riley for being selected as the Team FYN Sports player of the week for the White County Warriors!
White County Maintains Playoff Hopes with Victory.
Sports, Team FYN Sports November 2, 2019
On a chilly night, the White County Warriors defeated the Chestatee War Eagles 34-14.
It was a slow start f0r both teams early on, as the game began with two straight three and outs. White County began to drive down field on offense, and were gaining momentum. However, their momentum was halted after they fumbled the ball in Chestatee territory. Chestatee continued to struggle on offense, as quarterback Christian Charles was having to make plays on his feet all night long.
Late in the first quarter, both teams were able to score on very similar plays, as the two quarterbacks (Christian Charles and J. Ben Haynes) were able to score on goal line rushing touchdowns, and the first quarter ended with both teams tied at 7.

White County took control in the second quarter.
The rushing attack for the Warriors was strong throughout the night. Haynes continued to scramble for positive yards as per usual, while Riley Stancil was also making big plays. Stancil scored a 7 yard rushing TD to give the Warriors a 7 point lead. Afterwards, the defense came up big as Reece Dockery had an interception to give the Warriors the ball back. Haynes lead the team downfield, but the offense was not able to score and had to punt. Chestatee once again turned over the ball as Jesse Moose forced a fumble. The Warriors drove downfield, and scored as J. Ben once again rushed in for a TD.
After another Chestatee punt, White County had another chance to score before the end of the 1st half. After an impressive one handed catch from Cooper Turner on a tipped pass, the Warriors had the ball on the goal line with under a minute remaining. However, Haynes threw an interception, ironically to Christian Charles, Chestatee’s quarterback who was playing defensive back as well. The first half ended with the Warriors leading 21-7.
The game was evenly matched in the second half, as the Warriors began to run down the clock.
On White County’s first offensive drive of the half, they once again made their way downfield. The drive ended with Haynes completing a pass to Stancil for a touchdown, improving the lead to 21. However, Chestatee fired back as Charles once again was making big plays on his feet, carving his way through the White County defense, and finally scored to make the score 28-14.
Both teams began to tread water as the game continued. Haynes fumble the ball on a drive midway through the 3rd quarter, and the offense never really made progress again until late. Meanwhile, the Warrior defense played great for the majority of the night, and they were at their best as the game continued. They eliminated any threat of a pass all night long, as they had their best passing defense game of the year. Also, Chestatee were not helping their chances with plenty of unnecessary penalties throughout the game.

The Warriors pulled out the victory, and still have hope for the playoffs.
The game ended after Haynes once again scored for a rushing touchdown late. With the 34-14 victory, White County still has a chance to make the playoffs. However, they must defeat the Blessed Trinity Titans next Friday. This will be a tall task, as the Titans are one of the best teams in the state. They will be coming into next week’s game after defeating Marist 33-30 earlier tonight.

Player of the Week, Sports, Team FYN Sports October 5, 2019
The wide receiver had an impressive outing against Flowery Branch, earning him Player of the Week honors.
Tonight, Will Sampson had a return to form, finding a chance to showcase his talents throughout the night.
It’s been an up and down year for Sampson so far. He’s dealt with a couple on injuries so far, which has prevented him from getting the same playing time that he had last season. But tonight, he was a key player. He scored the first TD of the game for White County, finding himself wide open in the endzone on a 5 yard receiving TD. He was also making key receptions throughout the night, giving the Warriors chances to continue drives.
Congratulations to Will Sampson for being named Team FYN Sports Player of the Week.
White Co. boys basketball team suffers first loss of season
Sports, Team FYN Sports November 19, 2019
After winning their opening game of the season, the White County Warriors lost tonight to the Tallulah Falls Indians.
It was a difficult night for the Warriors. They had to play from behind for the majority of the game. Tallulah Falls took an early lead, leading 20-12 at the end of the first quarter. White Co. reduced the deficit in the second quarter, even taking the lead at one point. However, the Indians would retake the lead and wouldn’t lose it for the rest of the game. Their biggest lead of the game was by 12 points, before winning by seven points (65-58).

The Warriors were on their back foot all game long. Only four Warriors scored tonight out of the 12 that are on the team.
Silas Mulligan lead the Warriors with 23 points.
Meanwhile, Jadon Yeh scored 12 points, Reece Dockery scored eight, and Cooper Turner scored 15. But as was previously mentioned, those were the only Warriors that scored.
Compare this to Friday night’s game where which nine different players scored. This was definitely an off night for the Warriors, and they’ll need to get their players involved more consistently throughout the season, especially when region play begins.

Warriors suffer a tough loss to the Marist War Eagles.
Sports, Team FYN Sports September 28, 2019
In what was the expected result coming into the game, the Marist War Eagles were able to defeat the White County Warriors 35-19.
The beginning portion of the game was controlled by Marist.
The War Eagles were on the hunt early. After a White County 3 & out to start the game, Marist QB Connor Cigelske scored a 58 yard rushing touchdown on one of their first offensive plays to almost immediately gain the lead. They would soon score again after another rushing touchdown midway through the first quarter, making the score 15-0 after a two point conversion.
The Warriors would have multiple ups and downs throughout the game.

Meanwhile, it was a rough start for the Warriors. It was in the 2nd quarter after four offensive drives to finally gain a first down after a fourth down conversion. Later on during that same drive, J. Ben Haynes would find Cooper Turner for a deep ball, and Turner would be stopped at the 1 yard line. Junior running back Seth Stonecypher would score his first career rushing touchdown on the next play, making the score 15-7.
The Warriors had another golden opportunity to score shortly afterwards. Marist would fumble the ensuing kick return and Jesse Moose would recover the fumble at the Marist 3 yard line. However, Marist would make an impressive goal line stand, stopping the Warriors from scoring on all four downs. On the War Eagles first play back on offense. Fullback Lincoln Parker scored a 98 yard rushing touchdown, killing all of White County’s momentum in a matter of seconds. To further deplete themselves, J, Ben Haynes would throw his first of two interceptions in the game. Marist would score another touchdown and a field goal in the remaining minutes of the half to go into halftime with a 32-7 lead.

To begin the 2nd half, Marist kicked another field goal to give themselves a 35-7 lead. After this, it was clear that they took their foot off the throttle, as they would put in their second unit on both offense and defense. Early on in this stint, the Warriors had trouble. After Jaquez Willimas recovered a fumble on defense, Haynes would throw his second interception to immediately give the ball back.
The Warriors slowly began to crawl towards a comeback as the game progressed.

Things started to lookup for the Warriors afterwards. White County kept their first string units in for the game, and they began to look good. They forced Marist to punt on their next two defensive drives. Meanwhile, the Warrior offense began to gain momentum. Haynes was firing the ball downfield as Jesse Thomas and Cooper Turner were his leading targets. However, it was Reece Dockery that would catch a 17 yard receiving touchdown to bring the deficit to 22. On the Warriors next offensive drive, Haynes would rush in for an 8 yard TD, making the score 19-35 with less than six minutes remaining. . Both of these touchdowns were on fourth down. All game long, the Warriors were converting fourth downs, as they only punted the ball 4 times, all in the first half.
Marist was feeling the pressure of a Warrior comeback, and put in their first string offense maintain the lead and to seal the victory. They would run the clock out, and end the game with a 35-19 victory.
What’s next for the Warriors?
Ultimately, the Warriors were always going to have a tough time tonight. Marist came into the game undefeated and are widely regarded as one of the top teams in the entire state of Georgia, and they proved why they are ranked so high tonight. Meanwhile, the Warriors have another tough road game next week as they travel to Flowery Branch to take on the Falcons before a bye week.

White County Heads into Bye Week 3-3 after Loss to Flowery Branch
Sports, Team FYN Sports October 5, 2019
For the second consecutive week, the White County Warriors suffer a road defeat to a regional opponent. This time out, the Flowery Branch Falcons defeated them 45-20.
The game was under the control of Flowery Branch from the very start.
Their rushing attack was unstoppable throughout the entirety of the game, starting out with their team rushing down the field and scoring on their first drive, with RB Chase Dial-Watson scoring his first of 2 rushing touchdowns. On their next offensive drive, it would be RB Jaizen Ellingham scoring his first of 3 TDs, which gave the Falcons a 14-0 lead to end the first quarter.
An unwelcome sight for the White County Warriors
Meanwhile, the Warriors struggled. Their defense was almost nonexistent in the first half, especially against the run. On offense, the Warriors couldn’t buy a first down in the first quarter. They finally got to move the chains during the 2nd quarter after faking a punt and passing for a first down. However, it could be argued that the biggest adversary for the Warriors tonight was not wearing pads and dressed in black. Instead, their biggest adversary was a yellow piece of dirty laundry that constantly found its way onto the field. Yes, the penalty flag was constantly setting the Warriors back and killing their momentum all throughout the night. In the first half, the Warriors were called for 4 false start calls, along with being called for holding multiple times.
Eventually, the Warriors gained some steam.

After the Falcons scored another TD and converted a 32 yard field goal, the Warriors finally had a good drive going. J. Ben Haynes led his team downfield with key passes to Will Sampson and Cooper Turner. He would eventually find Will Sampson wide open in the endzone, and the Warriors would go into the half losing 6-24.
The Warriors went into the 2nd half without a key defensive player. Two time player of the week Jesse Moose would not return to the game in the 2nd half as he left with an undisclosed injury. But they started the 2nd half on offense, and Haynes was once again driving the ball downfield, including a 42 yard pass to Jesse Thomas. Eventually, the ball was at the 5 yard line, and on the next play, Haynes would throw an interception, adding on to his unimpressive tally of INTs throughout the season.

Things would go from bad to worse for J. Ben. After White County forced a 3 and out on defense, he would fumble the ball on the next offensive drive, bringing the morale of the Warriors to an all time low.
Meanwhile, the Falcons continued to play well on offense. Jaizen Ellingham would score his 2nd TD after the fumble, giving the Falcons a 31-6 lead to end the 3rd quarter.
The Warriors would not lose without a fight.
The Falcons would bring on their 2nd unit on defense, which in return, gave the Warriors a chance to fire on offense. Haynes began to play like the man we had seen earlier in the season. Haynes would score on an 18 yard rushing TD after leading his offense on an impressive and uplifting the drive. Flowery Branch and Ellingham would once again score on the next drive to bring the lead back to 25.
The next offensive drive for the Warriors was a flashback to the Lumpkin County vs. White County matchup. Zion McMullen absolutely flew past the Falcon defenders, rushing for over 70 yards on the drive, ending the drive on a 3 yard TD. But this effort was too late in the game, as Flowery Branch would drive down the field and kill the clock, before scoring another TD with less than a minute remaining, sealing their victory with the final score of 45-20.
Up next, a much needed break for the Warriors.
For the Warriors, they are now 0-2 in region play this season. On the plus side, they have an off week next week, and now have time to get healthy and recuperate. When they return in two weeks, it will be their homecoming game against West Hall. It is a must win game for the Warriors if they want any chance of making the playoffs.

White County Warriors Lose to Denmark in a Nail Biter
Sports, Team FYN Sports October 26, 2019
In what was White County’s most important game of the year, the Warriors came up just short against the Denmark Danes, losing 28-21.
Denmark took control of this game almost immediately. On their first offensive play, they scored on a 74 yard rushing TD, immediately gaining a 7-0 lead. For the Warriors, this complete killed their spirits early on. They were unable to gain any momentum on offense, going 3 and out on two straight drives. Meanwhile, Denmark would once again score later on in the 1st quarter to take a 14-0 lead. However, it was at this point that the Warriors began to play well on both sides of the ball.
Jesse Moose tackling Denmark’s QB for a sack
White County would score near the end of the 1st quarter with a 26 yard TD pass from J. Ben Haynes to Jesse Thomas. On defense, they were able to dominate in the second quarter. A big factor in this was the return of Jesse Moose, who had missed last weeks game with injury. He made a key sack early in the 2nd quarter which brought the home stadium on their feet. Multiple players on defense were making their mark, including Zion McMullen who had his best defensive game yet with multiple important tackles throughout the night. Both offenses were at a halt in the second quarter, and the first half would end with Denmark leading 14-7.
Both offenses began to play better in the second half.
After White County went 3 and out to begin the second half, Denmark once again found their way into the end zone, as their RB Zach Ogbogu scored on a 58 yard TD. The Warriors had a hard time completing tackles in the second half, as the Danes were able to consistently break tackles. Although, the Warriors were able to rebound quickly on offense. J. Ben Haynes tossed the ball to Riley Stancil, but to the surprise of the Danes, Stancil would fire a pass downfield to Cooper Turner to easily catch for a trick play touchdown. This brought the Warriors back within 7 (14-21), and the 3rd quarter would end with the Danes driving down field.

Early in the 4th quarter, Danes RB Jordan Brunson would score to extend the Danes lead to 28-14. However, the Warriors would fire back quickly. J. Ben Haynes would lead the Warriors downfield, firing off passes left and right, carving up the Denmark defense. He would connect with Cooper Turner for a 14 yard touchdown to bring the margin back to 7. Then, the Warrior defense stepped up. Big tackles from Dylan Archer and Zion McMullen fired up the Warrior crowd. Denmark would go for it on 4th down, and would fail. This gave the Warriors possession at the White County 29 yard line, with less than half a quarter remaining.
The close game would come down to one play late.
The Warriors were able to drive downfield, as Haynes continued to make plays both in the air and on his feet. Time continued to wind down, and the pressure on the Warriors to score was rising. Finally, it all came down to one play late. 4th and 3, and the ball was at the Denmark 28 with 2:05 remaining in game. Haynes fired a pass to Jesse Thomas, but it was low and went incomplete. Denmark regained possession, and ran down the clock to win the game 28-21.
For the Warriors, playoff hopes are now diminishing.
The Warriors are now in 5th place in the region, at a 1-3 record. Technically, they still have a chance, but it is small. They would have to win both of their remaining games against the 1-7 Chestatee War Eagles and the 7-1 defending state champion Blessed Trinity Titans. Also, either Flowery Branch or Denmark would have to lose both of their next games (they play each other in the final week of the season.) It’s a tough road for the Warriors, and they will have to play hard to end the season.

After two straight losses and a bye week, the Warriors were completely rejuvenated tonight, defeating the West Hall Spartans 42-0.
It was homecoming night at White County High School, and the Warriors came out in full force. From the opening kickoff, the Warriors were in complete control.

Ben Haynes would score his first of 3 rushing touchdowns, giving the Warriors a 14-0 lead to end the 1st quarter.

West Hall was no competition for the Warriors tonight. However, they had their moments throughout the game where it looked as if they could compete. Early on, they were driving down field, and they looked as if they were about to score. Unfortunately for the Spartans, they would turn the ball over on downs, killing any momentum that they had.
The Warriors would respond in the 2nd quarter with no forgiveness.
J. Ben Haynes was responsible for every touchdown in the second quarter. He had two more rushing touchdowns, along with a 40 yard passing touchdown to Cooper Turner. Meanwhile, the White County Warriors defense was incredible. Although they were without Jesse Moose, the Warriors had no problem stopping the Spartans. Surprisingly, it was a freshman taking control of the game on defense. Defensive back Darius Cannon had his best game to date, with two interceptions in the second quarter, along with making multiple key tackles throughout the game. At the end of the 1st half, the Warriors went into the locker room with a 35-0 lead.
In the second half, the Warrior defense certainly didn’t lose control.
The Warrior defense continued to dominate in the second half. They had three turnovers, including two more interceptions from Silas Mulligan and Will Sampson. The defense continued to be dominant, even with more second unit players subbing in as the clock winded down.

Meanwhile, the Warrior offense would score again early on the 4th quarter. J. Ben Haynes would find the Homecoming King Jesse Thomas wide open for a 49 yard receiving touchdown, extending the lead to 42-0. In the 4th Quarter, the Warriors would play with a continuous clock, and it would not take long for them to secure the win.
Next week, The Warriors play their biggest game of the season.
The Warriors will play next week against the Denmark Danes at home. The Danes are a second year high school, and they have only two losses on the season, both of them against the two best teams in the region, Blessed Trinity and Marist. If the Warriors have any hope of making playoffs, then they must win this game. Otherwise, their chances will drastically decrease.
