The Warriors and Rams are known for the rivalry, so it was an odd night for the Warriors, having their very own senior night at Kennardale High School this past week.
The game was held at the Rams court due to water clean up at Susquehannock’s home court.
Despite the location change, many students came out to support the warriors on senior night and their last game of the season.
