The 2019 MIAA playoffs have begun and the Warriors did what they do best - WIN! KP (#3 Seed) beat Barnstable (#6 Seed) 34 - 6 last night at home. KP is now 12-1 in the last 13 postseason games. Clear your calendars for next Friday when the KP Warriors face their biggest rival, the Mansfield Hornets, in Mansfield in the Division 2 South Semi-Final. History says this rematch will be another epic battle not to be missed.
Last night the Warriors dominated in all facets of the game - the offense was a well orchestrated & executed machine, the defense was ruthless as usual and special teams came up with a kickoff return for a TD. Senior RB #34 Ryan Halliday was back with a cast on his left thumb after missing 3 games and was on fire. He ran for 101 yards and two touchdowns. Senior QB Robert Jarest was very impressive at 11 - 14 with 152 yards and two touchdowns - he does it all - he runs, scrambles, throws & scores! Sophomore #24 Nick Viscusi had a 78 yard kickoff return for a touchdown to start the second half and Sophomore #86 Drew Danson had some great catches, one which he grabbed a touchdown.
The Warrior Defense allowed just 3 first downs and 29 yards of offense in the first half. In the second half they forced three Barnstable turnovers and kept them under 100 yards of offense.
Now it's onto Mansfield...again! Go KP!
