St. Dom Wins District Opener Over Warrenton

ST. DOMINIC HIGH SCHOOL – The undefeated St. Dominic Crusaders raised their season record to 8-0 with a 14-0 victory over visiting Warrenton (MO) High School Friday night at Crusader Stadium.

Junior Jake Wilmes scored on a short touchdown run in the third quarter to get the Crusaders on the board. Then senior Grant Nickles added a short scoring run of his own in the final minutes to put the game away, as St. Dominic moved to 1-0 in district play. Warrenton, which is now 1-7 this season, fell to 0-1.

Friday’s contest was a defensive battle for both ballclubs, as neither team could muster much offense until St. Dom finally found its footing in the second half.

The Crusader defense refused to let Warrenton get anything going and forced four turnovers whenever it seemed the visiting Warriors might get a few things accomplished.
