He gave tons of credit to his defense while speaking on the GWM Extra Points Show. Watch here:
Morelli was 60-48 during his time at Ridgway and 12-19 at Cameron County and is currently 28-24 at Warren.
Quarterback Eric Dippold had a hand in both of Warren’s touchdowns in the first half, which proved to be all the scoring they needed.
Dippold scored on a 1-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to make it 6-0 and directed a late Warren drive in the second quarter, which he capped with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Nyquist.
Warren improved to 4-3 with the win, while Mercyhurst Prep drops to 3-4.
