The Warriors next game will be at Paint Branch on February 28 where the warriors look to topple the Panthers who had a bye first round. During the season the Warriors won the game at home 55-52 but lost on the road 56-43.

If the Warriors win they will play at the winner of the Blake vs. Dulaney game.
