MARION -- The Little Rock Christian Warriors signed up to play some high-profile nonconference games this season to get ready for a state championship run.
Halfway through Tuesday night's game at Marion's Fidelity Bank Arena, the Warriors found exactly what they wanted, a big game in a hostile environment.
But in the third quarter, the Warriors hit the jets, led by as many as 21 points and held the Patriots at bay in the fourth quarter for an 85-72 victory.

Senior Jashawn "JJ" Andrews recorded a game-high 40 points to lead the Warriors (5-1), hitting 21
