Ollie Howell and Hunter Hensley each had a pair of touchdown runs for the Warriors, who improved to 2-5 overall and 2-2 in region play. 

West Point also had a safety after a snap sailed over the head of East’s Limestone punter and through the back of the end zone.

“I felt like we really clicked and played our most complete game of the season tonight,” West Point coach Kevin McCravy said. “I thought we handled winning well after last week — that was the most important thing to me. We came out and handled success. We got out there and did what we needed to do to win.”

The Warriors host Russellville next week.
