•· The Warriors return to Lima after defeating the Grand Rapids Thunder on July 19th, 24-6. This was the first win in team history against Grand Rapids and the second in as many weeks against a team from Grand Rapids (West Michigan Force was the other win). With the victory, Lima took over the number one seed in the playoff race & with a win this week, Lima clinches at least a share of the division title and a playoff berth.
