The Warriors hosted Carver tonight in their first conference game of the season. Wheatmore was coming off a big win over Southwestern Randolph and hoping to carry that momentum into the game tonight. Carver was hungry for a win after winning just 1 game in their first 5.

Wheatmore started the game off with a big play when the Yellow Jackets fumbled the opening kickoff and Marvin Taylor came up with the ball on the Yellow Jacket 33 yard line. The Warriors drove down to the 14 yard line with a couple runs by Brayton Hardin and Wesley Helmandollar before their drive stalled and they turned the ball over on downs.

The Yellow Jackets put together a scoring drive on their first offensive possession and found the end zone on a 45 yard touchdown run around the right side. They added the extra point and held a 7-0 lead with 6:22 left in the 1^st quarter. Carver added another score when Wheatmore had a bad snap to the punter that went into the end zone and was recovered by the Yellow Jackets. Carver had a 13-0 lead at the end of the 1^st quarter.

Wheatmore came up with a big turnover with 6:30 left in the 2^nd quarter when Cody Campbell intercepted the pass on the Carver 40 yard line.

Helmandollar caught a pass from Bryan Robles on 3^rd down and 9 with 24 seconds left in the 2^nd quarter, but the touchdown was called back due to an ineligible receiver down field.
