The Washington Warriors took runners-up at the Silo tournament over the weekend.

They lost to Poteau 10-7 in the finals of the tournament.

Warrior head coach Tylor Lampkin said his team was a little up and down in the tournament.

“We struggled with some things but they are things I’m glad I saw so we can go back and work on them,” he said. “We struggled in the circle a little and didn’t play great defense behind. In the long run it will be good for us.”
