Back to .500

The Knights crawled out of an 0-2 hole and evened their record at 2-2 with a 39-19 win over the Eagles. Paced by over 300yds rushing (200 by our FB Jake) the Knights outscored the Eagles in the second half 19-6, widening a 20-12 halftime lead.

The game was the best by the Knights all year. Jake ran all over the Eagles in the 1st half. We even managed to get the ball with a 13-12 lead with 1:41 to go in the half and ran our 1st two minute drill, scoring on a Peyton to Justin TD pass with 45 seconds left. Peyton also had the play of the game in the 4th quarter. With about 3 minutes left we faced a 4th and 1 at the Eagles 45. We ran a QB sneak behind Cal, they read it perfectly and Peyton was knocked back 2 yards into the backfield, kept his balance, ran off the end, broke 3 tackles and ran 45yds for the nail in the coffin TD.

Defense played well and didnt give up any big plays. Cal even made his 1st career Interception off of a screen pass from the Nose Tackle position. Sean had a great game at LB and the defense collected 5 sacks, even with out on of our best DE's out with illness.

This week we play the 0-4 team from the Island. We are going to be aggressive and try to get back into the playoff hunt. The win over the eagles gives us a tiebreaker over them. We play the hated Cougars next week. A team I have never beaten in my 11 years coaching. I am focused and am going to make sure we dont overlook this weeks opponent.
