The Lima Warriors open their playoff run with a home date against the West Virginia Crush at 7 p.m. Saturday. The visiting Warriors beat the Crush, 49-20, on July 14, so confidence has to be running high in the Lima camp.
The Warriors ended the regular season with the franchise's first 10-0 season. It was led by the defense, which surrendered only 39 points and 729 yards. The offense averaged nearly 44 points per game and racked up 3,097 yards.
As the top-seeded team in the United States Football Alliance playoffs, the Warriors will continue to host games (Aug. 25, Sept. 8) as long as they keep winning. Frankly, the attendance at the two games I covered this year didn't knock my socks off. In the home opener, the announced attendance was around 250. However, against Northwest Ohio, there was no "announced attendance" but I counted around 125-150 people.
Why? It's not like we live in Chicago or Columbus where there are so many entertainment outlets. Do people just not care about the Warriors?
