Game Summary:
First Quarter Highlights:

• The Seahawks squared off against in-state competitor Warner University, and here is how the contest unfolded...
• The Warner Royals came out swinging on their first possession, as elusive freshman running back, Ralph Hughey broke free for a 32-yard touchdown run.  After a made extra-point, the score was Warner 7, Keiser 0 with 12:27 remaining.
• It did not take long for Keiser's freshman running back, Marques Burgess, to answer with a 28-yard touchdown run of his own.  After a made extra-point from Jarrett Mills, the score was tied at seven apiece with 8:33 left.
• On the following drive, Warner showcased their big-play threat in 6'3" 215 lb. junior wide receiver, Theodore Hammonds, as he hauled in a 36-yard pass from quarterback, Michael Young to give the Royals a first-and-goal on the Keiser six-yard line. 
• Just two plays later, Young connected with Hammonds for a four-yard touchdown reception. The score now stood at Warner 14, Keiser 7 at the 3:19 mark.

• After a Keiser punt, Warner constructed a nine play, 68-yard yard drive that resulted in a successful 30-yard field goal from kicker Justin Dalton, pushing the score to Warner 17, Keiser 7 with 9:17 remaining.
• The Seahawks answered promptly, as, on their next possession, Eli Mathews led an eight play, 66-yard drive that culminated in a 12-yard touchdown reception from tight end, Jaylen Arnold.  The score jumped to Warner 17, Keiser 14 with 4:40 left in the half. 
• It was Keiser's defense that put points on the board next as cornerback, Deandre Henderson took an interception back 22 yards for a touchdown.  With 2:58 remaining, Keiser took their first lead of the day 20-17. 
• On the very next drive, nickel corner DeMadre Bruten intercepted a pass from Michael Young, giving Keiser the ball back on their own 36-yard line.
• Mathews proceeded to complete four straight passes, the last of which was a six-yard touchdown strike to wide receiver Carlos Silencieux with only 13 seconds to spare.  At the end of the first half, the score was Keiser 27, Warner 17. 

• On Warner's second possession of the quarter, receiver Theodore Hammonds caught an eight-yard pass but took a hit from cornerback, Sage-Chen Young that dislodged the football.  Defensive end, Luckaad Dorsainvil then recovered the fumble to give Keiser's offense the ball at their own 38-yard line with 4:32 remaining.
• However, the Seahawks were unable to capitalize on the turnover and went three-and-out.
• This led to a 44-yard field goal attempt from Warner, but kicker Justin Dalton made very little contact with the football which resulted in a turnover on downs.
• The quarter ended with Mathews hitting Silencieux for a 13-yard reception, giving KU's offense the ball at their own 42-yard line. 

• There was no shortage of excitement in the final quarter, as on the very first play, Warner's Daryl Weaver returned a Mathews fumble 20-yards to give Warner's offense the ball at Keiser's 17-yard line.
• With first-and-goal on the Keiser six-yard line, Chen-Young came up with a touchdown-saving interception in the back corner of the end zone with 12:49 left in the game.  This was Chen-Young's team-leading sixth interception of the season.  
• After Keiser's offense was forced to punt, Warner's offense marched down the field and looked poised to score with under five minutes remaining.  However, hybrid defensive back, Marques Gayot intercepted a pass from Andre Tommie, and returned it 31 yards to set up Keiser's offense on Warner's 46-yard line.
• That was all Keiser needed to close out the game, as they went on a nine play, 35-yard drive to secure the victory.  The final score was Keiser 27, Warner 17.    

• Keiser's secondary turned in another strong performance, recording a total of four interceptions for 53 yards and one touchdown.
• Both Keiser and Warner went 5-of-10 on third down conversions, while Keiser held the ball for 29:31 and Warner for 30:29.

• #14 Tight end Jaylen Arnold was a presence in the middle of the field, posting four receptions for 52 yards and one touchdown. 
• #3 Quarterback Eli Mathews led the way with 19 completions on 26 attempts for 263 yards and two touchdowns.  

• #21 Cornerback DeAndre Henderson was hugely productive with eight tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, and one interception returned for a touchdown.
• # 2 Cornerback Sage Chen-Young came up clutch with two tackles, one forced fumble, and one interception. 

• #18 Jarrett Mills punted the ball four times for 159 yards, giving him an average of almost 40 yards per punt.
