The Knights will host the Freeman Scotties of the Northeast A League tonight. Watch LIVE
Royal got off to a bit of a slow start against La Salle last week, but rattled off 4 TDs in a span of less than 5 minutes at the beginning of the 2nd quarter to pull away to a 41-0 halftime lead and 48-7 final. Angel Farias was the star on special teams, returning 3 punts for 46 yards or more each. The 2 shorter returns of 46 and 56 yards found the endzone, but the longest (60 yards) was at least as impressive. The run game was dominate as the Knights’ starters averaged better than 9 yards per carry.
The Freeman Scotties showed their resilience last week against Cashmere after giving up the 1st two TDs of the game. They roared back to outscore the Bulldogs 35-7 from that point. The Scotties are athletic and experienced and will pose a challenge to the Knights. Their only league losses were to Colville and Newport. They prefer to run by about a 3:1 ratio, but tend to catch teams by surprise with their passing ability. The running attack is led by senior Keegan Cottrell, who is a big body at 6’ 1” and 190 lbs. The Knights front seven will have to be stout and play in the Freeman backfield and the Royal defensive back will have to keep their eyes out of the backfield. The Freeman defense only gives up 11.5 points per game, which keeps them in games even if their offense isn’t clicking. The offense averages 21 points per game.
Will the Scotties have the firepower to outscore the Knights, who are averaging 54 points per game and yielding less than 4 points per game? Which team will be able to impose their will at the line of scrimmage?
Come out and spend the last home game of the season with the Knights at David Nielsen Memorial Field. If you can’t make it in person, join us and WATCH LIVE at www.royalknightsfootball.com Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 pm and broadcast will begin around 6:40.
