FIRST FRESHMAN FEAT: The freshman football team earned its first victory of the season on the road over the Connally Cougars.

The Cougars scored a touchdown to take an early lead; however, the Knights turned it around in the second quarter when Ethan Cauthern scored a touchdown to level the score.

“It felt great scoring,” Cauthern said, “but what was better is seeing the motivation from the players after we scored.”

After Cauthern scored the first touchdown of the season for the boys, Cooper Hensley scored on a 2-point conversion to put the Knights ahead, 8-6.

“There's no winning conversion without a touchdown, and there’s no win without a conversion.” Hensley said.

Just 34 seconds away from halftime, lightning struck (literal not figurative) and cut the game short. The freshman team won the weather-shortened game by a final score of 8-6.

Both freshman and JV teams were sent to the Connally weight room to wait out the rain. The players and coaches waited over an hour and a half before ultimately deciding to cut the second half of the freshman game and all of the JV one.
 
Next Wednesday, Sept. 14, the freshman Knights hope to double their winning streak and the JV Knights hope to start one when both teams face Crockett to begin the district season. The freshman will kick off at 6 p.m. and the JV team at 7:30 p.m..
