Warriors Football Closes Out Season As Regional Champs

CUMBERLAND, MD — The Havre de Grace Warriors battled in the MPSSAA class 1A football semifinals on Saturday, Nov. 24, in Cumberland. The Warriors fell to the Fort Hill Sentinels, 43-6.

The Warriors close out the season as four-time regional champions in the 1A East.

Senior Jordan White put Havre de Grace on the board, The Aegis reported, after catching a pass from Warriors quarterback Alex Gresnock.

Fans made the more than 100-mile trek to western Maryland to support Havre de Grace High School, and the team expressed its thanks for "bringing home to Cumberland."

The Sentinels have met the Warriors in the playoffs before, and it is always a challenge when they meet on the field.

In 2016 and 2015 the Warriors faced off against the Sentinels in the state championship, which Fort Hill claimed four years in a row until last year, when the Dunbar Owls claimed the title.

At Saturday's semifinals, Frederick Douglass (PG County) beat Dunbar, 20-6.

Next, Douglass will take on Fort Hill in the state finals at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday Dec. 1, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis.
