Dixon, which didn’t play last week, whipped the Warriors, 24-0, last year.Defensive starters for the Warriors will be the same as last week: ends Button and Dewayne Keely, tackles Jess Martinez and David Crum,Carl’s WeldingSERVICE Shop or PortableFree Estimates - Reasonable Rates WILL GO ANYWHERE - ANYTIMECarl Wilkerson — Owner431 Martin Way 662-5983guard Robbie Faircloth, linebackers Joe Zaragoza and Keith Bemardy, and halfbacksChuck Thomsen, Moise Barbosa, and DanMartinez.Offensively, Winters will start: soph quarterback Phil Snow; halfbacks, Barbosa and Thomsen; fullback, Martinez; center, John Carbahal; guards, Gary Streeter and Randy Norfolk; tackles, Crum and Randy Fletcher, and ends Rickie Baker and Charles Rominger.Against Hamilton City, the Warriors didn't have any problems moving the ball except for turnovers — five pass interceptions and four fumbles. One fumble came on the Hamilton one-foot line and a pass theft came from the Hamilton 10.Button’s kick came with eight minutes to play. “He’s been kicking them pretty darn far,” saysKammerer. “He has a good toe on him. I feltthat he could do it. I had a world of confidence. I had no second thoughts about it. Button was in the clouds. He felt he couldn’t do it, I guess. I think I had more confidence than he did.”The Warriors did get a scare in the final minute. After a fourth down Hamilton play failed, Winters was called for a 15-yard penalty moving the ball to the Warrior 45. Hamilton opened up with passes and moved to the two-yard line on the last play of the game.Kammerer was particularly pleased with the stout defensive play of Martinez and Button.
