Keep your fingers crossed that the smoke clears out today so that they Knights can host the Othello Huskies for the home opener. Royal outpaced Ellensburg last week and will face another 2A opponent this week. The Othello Huskies dropped their season opener to Connell by a score of 28-10.

Last Friday the Knights pulled off a huge win on the road at Ellensburg. I have to believe the Knights were favored, but not by 42 points. The Royal defense set the tone from the beginning by continuously harassing the Bulldog QB and the defensive line playing most of the game in the offensive backfield. When the QB did have time, his passes were tipped away by the Royal defensive backs. Ellensburg was held to 1 yard of total offense in the 1st quarter and only 16 total yards at halftime.

The Othello Huskies took an early 10-7 lead over Connell last Friday before conceding the lead in the 2nd quarter and trailing 14-10 at the half. Untimely turnovers in the 2nd half kept the Huskies off the board and provided short field opportunities for the Eagles, who capitalized with two 2nd half TDs. Othello is huge on offense. They are at their best when they are driving back the defensive line and running between the tackles. Team speed is not their greatest asset. Royal has the biggest offensive and defensive lines they have had in recent history. Unstoppable force versus immovable object. Who wins? If Royal’s offensive can be productive early, Othello’s offense is not built to play from behind.
