The Bears cashed in on a Jordan turnover after receiver Ryan Miller coughed up the ball at the Warrior 36 after a 11-yard pass.

The Bears promptly covered the 36 yards in seven plays.

Morris carried three times for 15 yards, including a nine-yard dart to the Warrior 2 and he ended up scoring on a one jaunt up the middle. The Bears failed on the two-point conversion run but led 13-6 with 1:05 in the first quarter.

After a booming 49-yard punt by Dean Reynolds down to the Jordan 2, the Warriors ate up the clock on a 13-play drive but the Bears defense held firm on a fourth-and-8 pass from the LC-M 31 that fell incomplete.

After the Warriors were called for pass interference, Landry hit Peet on the money over the middle for a 54-yard scoring strike. The extra-point kick failed as the Bears led 19-6 with 4:02 in the half.

At the end of the half the Warriors drove 22 yards in three plays but kicker Jake Kilander missed a 38-yard field goal attempt as time expired.

Miller had three catches for 40 yards while Gasper rushed for 33 yards on eight carries and Monye had 23 yards on eight totes.

Early in the second half, Peet muffed a punt and the Warriors fell on it at the Bear 22. However, the Warriors went backwards and on third-and-23 from the 35, Barrington was picked off by the Bears’ Morris at the LC-M 3.

Morris then spearheaded a eight-play, 97-yard scoring jaunt.

Morris started the march with runs of 27 and 12 and Landry hit tight Reynolds on a 11-yard strike to the Warrior 46. Landry hit Roberts with a nine-yard strike and two plays later Morris sprinted around the left side, broke a tackle and cruised 34 yards for the touchdown. The extra-point attempt failed as the Bears led 25-6 with 4:07 left in the third quarter.

The Bears halted a 14-play Warrior drive when they tackled Salz for a one-yard gain to the LC-M 2 on fourth-and-goal from the 3.

Four plays later Morris electrified the crowd with a 82-yard touchdown as he hit the right side, cut back over the middle and broke two late tackles to get into the end zone.

The Bears will finally get to host their first game of the season next week when they welcome in the Woodville Eagles.
