The only way the Knights 55-14 win over the Lanier Vikings could have gotten any better was if the sky started raining dollar bills. The Knights offense was nothing short of prolific in a game that was dominated by the Knights run game.
The Knights opened the game up with a touchdown pass from Cole Davis to Takai Satberry. The touchdown was set up by a long run from Jalen Sutton to put the Knights in prime scoring position. The Knights followed up on the next drive with a 8-yard run by Sutton to make the score 14-0.
The game did not get any better for the Vikings from there, who were held scoreless in the first half and only scored 14 points by the end of the game. The Knights, however, would go on to score six more touchdowns, including a defensive touchdown off a blocked punt by Alvino Carbajal, 18-yard touchdown runs by Deron Gage and Darius Lewis, and two touchdown passes from Davis to Gage. One of those touchdowns was a 67-yard completion get the Knights’ final score of the game.
With the win, the Knights improve to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in district and hope to keep this momentum rolling through to next week, when they face off against Seguin in their fourth district game.
