The Pocahontas County High School Warriors gave the powerhouse Yellowjackets all they could handle Friday night in Moorefield. The Warriors played an exceptional game but the clock expired with the Yellowjackets holding a 20-14 advantage. Moorefield started the scoring in the first quarter with a 43-yard TD pass from QB Dakota Vetter to WR Shane Myers. The same duo hooked up for a successful two-point conversion and the Jackets held an 8-0 lead.

But Pocahontas responded a few minutes later with a big play of their own. Warriors QB Wyatt Workman completed to WR Stephen Simmons for a 45-yard TD pass near the end of the first 140906PCHSFootball001smquarter. A two-point conversion attempt failed but Moorefield’s lead was cut to 8-6.
