The Warriors rolled up 473 yards in three quarters of play and broke open a 14 point game in the third quarter with three touchdown passes from Taulia Tagovailoa.

Player of the game: There was no doubt in this game as Tagovailoa picked apart the Eagles defense, going 25-for-30 for 402 yards and four touchdowns in three quarters of play.

Key sequence: After Oak Mountain cut the lead to 28-14 with a score on the opening drive of the second half, Thompson rolled off three touchdowns in seven plays to put the game away.

Stat sheet: Ahmad Edwards had 13 catches for 233 yards and a score for the Warriors. … Mo Edwards had eight catches for 130 yards and two scores. … Jaylen Rayam had an interception, a sack and four tackles for Thompson.

By the numbers: 9, penalties against the Warriors on the night. … 78, yards rushing for Oak Mountain through three quarters. … 6, different receivers caught passesfor the Warriors.

Coachspeak: "It was a play we thought would be open to start the game. He had to make the read and he made the prefect read and we got the score.” – Thompson coach Mark Freeman, on the first TD.

They said it: "The safety came up and I gave him a little move and he bit and got by him for the score.” -- Ahmad Edwards.

"We knew what happens against them the last two years and we didn't want to make the same mistakes again.” -- Jaylen Rayam

"Glory to God, he is our foundation, I have a great o line and our coaches drew up a great game plan and I just executed it.” – Tagovailoa.

Next week: The Warriors are at home against rival Pelham and Oak Mountain is off next week before jumping back into region play at Hoover.
