The Cougars then dominated the time of possession in the second half, utilizing a strong run game to run out the clock, and eventually score in the 4th quarter to make it a 28-14 game.

The Knights had a drive at the end but were unable to find the endzone, despite moving the ball down the field very well. Quarterback Kale Mensink threw some great passes and showed off his arm strength throughout the game. He connected on a touchdown pass to James Howard in the first half to make it 14-6 late in the second quarter.

Kaden Rath was fantastic for Kingsland, too. He had an interception, along with the punt return touchdown. Rath also ran the ball well for the Knights who have a very creative offense with a lot of motion before the snap, and a lot of different formations.
