12/9/2025 1:50:00 PM

LAKE WALES, Fla. - The Royals hit the road Friday night as they travel to Temple Terrace to take on the Florida College Falcons in a non-conference matchup. Warner looks to regroup and bounce back after an 81–68 home loss to Clinton College.

The meeting marks another competitive test for the Royals, who continue to showcase strong guard play and defensive intensity heading into the heart of December action.
 

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Bryson Castillo - Sophmore Guard: Castillo is coming off one of his most efficient scoring performances of the season, posting 22 points on 8–15 shooting, including 4–7 from beyond the arc. His perimeter accuracy and ability to create space make him a focal point in Warner's offensive attack.

David Darling - Sophmore Guard: Darling delivered a steady two-way performance against Clinton, finishing with 10 points and adding 2 steals. His energy on the defensive end and reliability as a scorer continue to play a key role in Warner's rotation.

Seth Childers (Junior Point Guard)
Childers remains the engine of the Royals' offense, recording 9 points, 6 assists, and 3 steals in the last outing. His court vision and defensive presence will be critical as Warner looks to dictate pace and limit Florida College's transition opportunities.
