The Warriors have won three straight and have a dependable backfield and a strong receiver in Nick Feser, who caught two touchdown passes from junior quarterback Tommy Garcia last week. Mercy tops its 8-Man South division, and is already well on its way to the playoffs. Strong running from Juan and Jose Rosales and Ale- jandro Guerrero are proving too difficult to stop at this point. The Warriors' only win last year also came from Herlong, which forfeited.
