Warriors Break DP Drought in 16-7 Victory

When the Class of 2017 arrived at West Orange for the 2014 season, they joined a program that had never lost to the Dr. Phillips Panthers.

Not wanting to face the ignominious fate of being the only class of Warriors to never defeat DP, the seniors rose to the occasion Friday night, spurring their squad to a 16-7 victory over the Panthers.
