Knights, MG fall to league foes

By ROB HAMILTON

North­mor got out to a strong start against Buck­eye Val­ley on Fri­day, but couldn’t hold on in a 28–12 loss to the Barons.

The Knights scored twice in the first quar­ter, get­ting an 82-yard fum­ble return by Gar­rett Rowan and a five-yard run by Tyler Beck to take a 12–0 lead after 12 minutes.

Unfor­tu­nately for North­mor, they would not be able to hold that lead. Buck­eye Val­ley scored on a short run in the sec­ond quar­ter to cut the Knight lead to 12–7 and then added two more touch­downs in the third period to take a nine-point lead.

They would then add seven more points in the fourth quar­ter to fin­ish off the game.

Knight quar­ter­back Zach Car­roll com­pleted 10 passes for 35 yards in the game, with Mitchell Whisler catch­ing two for 18 yards. On the ground, Tyler Beck ran for 28.

Mount Gilead Indians

In a game short­ened due to thun­der­storms, Mount Gilead fell to Pleas­ant 35–6 on Friday.

The Spar­tans scored twice in the first period to take a 14–0 lead before the Indi­ans got a touch­down on a seven-yard run by Tyler Bashaw to close within an eight-point margin.

Pleas­ant would respond, though, get­ting a 40-yard touch­down pass from Colin Wood to Devlin McDaniel to move in front by a 21–6 mar­gin at the half.

The Spar­tans would then add two touch­downs in the third quar­ter before the game was called due to the weather.
