On Friday night, not even rain
could stop the Knights in their 33-21 win over the Pennsbury Falcons.
While the Knights got off to a slow start, Pennsbury jumped all
over the opportunity to throw the ball against the Knights secondary.
The Falcons scored all of their points in
the first half and two of their touchdowns were on passes, one went
for 35 yards and the other went for 86 yards. But that's the last
time the Knights would allow its defense to get beat like that and
kept the Falcons scoreless in the second half.
The Knights' offense used its punishing running
attack to wear down the Falcons' defense. Kevin Akins had 154 yards
on the ground and Jim Casertano had 2 touchdowns before leaving
the game with a pulled hamstring.
After a solid drive in the third quarter
the Knights used a little misdirection to get Jim Laky into the
endzone for a 19 yard touchdown making the score 27-21. Then again
in the fourth quarter Pat McCourt sealed the victory with a one
yard touchdown making the score 33-21. Then Deanco Oliver's fourth
quarter interception put to rest the hopes of a Pennsbury comeback.
I would like to thank the Knights, Coach
Beck, and the rest of the coaching staff and organization for what
they did on Friday night. It's hard to sit and watch from the sidelines,
but you guys are making easier on me, especially when you win. Thank
You.

Pre-Game Write-up
On Friday, the Knights will take on the Pennsbury
Falcons in a must win game. If the Knights lose they also lose their
playoff chances. The Knights are currently 6-14 overall against
the Falcons. The Knights have won the last 5 times they have played
Pennsbury.
Pennsbury has a good team, which was evident
in their upset, win against Pennridge earlier in the season. The
Knights will have to beable to control the offensive line to win
Friday night.
Pennsbury will come out hard, tough, and
will not roll over. But the Knights have been practicing hard all
week and appear to be ready for another big game that will decide
the fate of this team's postseason.
