Our 7th grade squad also played a game against Connell on Tuesday night just before the C-squad game. The boys were down 12-0 at half and had trouble getting anything going on offense. Luckily they at least were able to block both PAT's, which really had an impact in the end.
The defense came out strong in the 2nd half and held the bigger Connell team in check. Our guys finally got on the board with a halfback pass from Manuel Quintero to Tanner Christensen for about a 60-yard TD. We did make our extra point, bringing the score to 12-7. The game went back and forth from there until the Knights scored on a well-blocked counter play with 48 sec. left on the clock. Tanner was able to outrun the defenders once he got into the open field on his way to sealing a 13-12 victory. Collin Christensen, Zach Helberg, Manuel, and Tanner all had great games defensively.
Go Knights! I just hope this all carries over for a varsity victory against the Eagles in week 8.
