"Warrensburg's finished in the top four at state a few years running now, and they're legit. To be the best, you have to compete with and beat the best, and they're perhaps the best team top to bottom we'll see all year. While it is tough to face them so soon in the season, I think it's important for the guys to see that kind of team and be able to see where we stack up," Pace said. "I feel pretty good about what we put out, and I think the guys saw that they're capable of playing tough competitors. We're going to go into next week fresh and ready to keep working hard."
