The Warriors took advantage of several Fort Edward turnovers, including one on the opening kickoff where the Flying Forts fumbled on a reverse hand-off. Tyler Brown scored the first of his five turnovers 24 seconds into the game as he ran the ball in from two yards out.
Tyler Brown would finish with five touchdowns as he racked up 189 yards on 17 carries, including an 80 yard touchdown run for the second score of the game.
Fort Edward took advantage of a Lake George turnover to help claw their way close in the fourth quarter, as Ryan Collier took a Tyler Brown pass in from 70 yards out for a pick-six. The interception brought the Flying Forts within 10, but could not come any closer as the Warriors drained plenty of clock on the ensuing drive to bring the game to an end.
Nate Burkhardt led the Fort Edward Flying Forts with 128 yards, and scored two of their four touchdowns.
With the win, it keeps the Lake George Warriors in the playoff chase as they control their own destiny with the Salem Generals visiting next Friday in a must-win game. The Fort Edward Flying Forts will finish their regular season with a trip down the Greenwich to face the Witches.
