Video: LW-West Tops Andrew in Big Comeback

Just after quarterback Kyle Millner threw a pick-six against on Friday night, the Warriors fumbled away the ensuing kickoff and the game looked nearly out of hand.

But the West defense forced a fumble and did its thing the rest of the game, bending but never breaking to help the Warriors come back to outscore Andrew 19-0 in the second half to win 25-17.

Millner quickly erased the memory of the costly interception, accounting for 242 total yards of offense and three touchdowns.
