The Knights were defeated by the LBJ Jaguars 56-0 on Thursday. The Jags found the end zone twice in the first quarter, and then punched it in three more time in the second, leaving the score at halftime at 35-0.
Coach G urged his players to reflect during the team’s off week on how to establish a winning culture, starting with a better showing against Dripping Springs.
LBJ added three more scores in the second half. The LBJ offense kept the Knight Defense on its feet, and the LBJ defense successfully held the Mac offense to less than 100 yards.
After the game, Coach G urged his players to reflect during the team’s off week on how to establish a winning culture, starting with a better showing against Dripping Springs.
The LBJ loss marked the second loss for the team in a major rivalry game this season. Their season started off with a 29-7 loss to Anderson at the Taco Shack Bowl on Aug. 29. With the loss, the Knights relinquished the Taco Shack trophy after three straight victories.
After scrambling for a big gain to put the Knights on the Trojan 5-yard line in the fourth quarter, sophomore Jaxon Rosales completed this touchdown pass to senior Takai Satberry for the Knights first score of the season.
Though the Knights ultimately lost, they successfully held the Trojans scoreless in the second half and played them even after the first quarter.
The Knights quickly recovered from their loss and pulled together as a team, beating Lehman on their own turf by a score of 17-0. A proud Coach G told his players to enjoy the win but then get ready to get back to work.
The next week, the Knights fought hard against Glenn, but ultimately lost 35-14. Caleb Brown had his best day of the season with 194 yards and two touchdowns.
After a bye week this weekend, the Knights will resume playing next week on Oct. 4, against the Dripping Springs Tigers at Dripping Springs.

![Knight ace Natalie Myrick pitched a great game in defeat, striking out 11, walking none and allowing zero earned runs and only four hits. Her teammate Lila Brotherton said she had command of all her pitches including an intimidating fastball. Natalie is an amazing pitcher and did a really good job at that game, Brotherton said. I’m not sure who is the faster pitcher [her or LASA starter Rose Harrelson], but it is definitely a close match.](https://macshieldonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Possible-Immersive-Softball-Photo-2-600x384.jpg)
