In a tightly contested matchup, the Holt Indians managed to secure an early lead against the Warrington Warriors with a field goal, bringing the score to 3-0 in the first quarter. The drive was marked by a significant 52-yard pass from quarterback Dean to receiver Deontay Rickman, setting up a first-and-goal situation at the 2-yard line.

However, the Warriors' defense proved formidable, with Brandon Johnson making a crucial stop on running back Adams at the goal line, marking his third tackle of the game. The defensive line, led by Keegan Millegar and Trevyon Guthrie, continued to hold strong, preventing Dean from advancing on subsequent plays.

Despite the Indians' efforts, including a roll-out attempt by Dean that resulted in a loss due to a blitz from Caden Stroller, Holt opted for a field goal after failing to score a touchdown. Kicker Cooper Regan successfully converted the 3-point attempt, giving Holt the early advantage.

As the first quarter progresses, Holt's defense has demonstrated resilience, successfully stifling the Warriors' offensive efforts. With 8:22 remaining in the quarter, the stage is set for an intense battle as both teams look to capitalize on their opportunities.
