Shrugging off a pair of previous losses to Lyman Gilmore, the Warriors turned the tables on the Bombers by jumping out to an 11-0 lead and never looking back on their way to 47-26 semi-final win in the Nevada County Athletic League tournament being played at Nevada Union.

The win moves Weimar Hills into Saturday’s 7 p.m. final. The Warriors will meet the winner of Friday’s late semi-final game between Seven Hills and Pleasant Valley.

For Gilmore, Ian Davis scored nine points and Trevor Bryant added eight. The Warriors limited Bombers scoring leader Cody Gardner to just two points.
