Warriors begin season 2-0, still looking to grow

COULEE CITY – With the 2022 season off to a hot start, the Almira/Coulee-Hartline Warriors begin the football season with a 2-0 record. The Warriors, who won the 2021 1B state title a season ago, entered 2022 with a much younger roster than last season. “It’s a young team,” head coach Brandon Walsh said. “The expectations are high because they have those expectations of themselves, but knowing what to expect because we’re so young, there’s some uncertainty. The fact that we’re 2-0 is great.” ACH kicked off its season with a 40-0 win over Columbia on the road, forcing four turnovers and rushing for 173 yards in the ground game. The second quarter of the Warriors’ opening game saw 26 points scored for the visiting team, with a receiving score by junior Jaxon Baergen and two rushing scores by sophomore Carter Pitts.
