Ben Berdine scored a career-high 34 points and Warren knocked down a sizzling 18 3s in an 80-61 win over Corry.
Berdine and Parks Ordiway each knocked down six 3s, with Berdine knocking down four in the third quarter alone.
That third quarter saw the Dragons extend an eight-point halftime lead into a 67-46 advantage.
Berdine (10 rebounds), was one of two Warren players with a double-double, as freshman point guard Tommy Nyquist scored 11 points and dished out 11 assists.
Ordiway scored 12 of his 18 points in the first half, while Payton Barnes added eight points and 10 rebounds.
Bryce Blair added five points and JT Blum four for the Dragons, who finish the regular season with a record of 16-5.
Nick Brundage scored 22 points for Corry, including 10-of-10 from the free-throw line, while Logan Joncas hit six tripled on his way to a 20-point effort.
Warren now awaits their playoff matchup in Class 4A, with brackets set to be released on Wednesday. The Dragons appear to be ticketed for the 4-5 matchup against either Grove City or Fairview.
