Grass Lake is coming of its best offensive performance of the season, a 53-27 win at Jonesville in a game where Warrior Running back Justin Wright ran 24 times for 203 yards and 6 TDs. QB Kyle Farley probably had his best game of the year as he completed 19 of 21 for 243 yards and had 1 carry for 20 yards and a TD.
