Warriors Hold Off Lyon Late; Remain Undefeated All-Time Against Scots

CONWAY, Ark. – It took just over five minutes before the Warriors got on the scoreboard for the first time for the 2018 season after seniors Miles Thompson found Daylen Johnson from five yards out. Hendrix would go on to tack on 20 points in the opening quarter and would take a 23-10 lead into intermission. Thompson found senior Michael Spainhour from 52 yards out early in the third quarter to give the Warriors a 20-point cushion at 30-10. The Scots would add a pair of touchdowns deep into the fourth but ultimately fell to Hendrix in front of over 1,200 fans inside Young-Wise Memorial Stadium by a score of 37-27.
