Knights Relish Return to State

By Knightbeat sports reporter Tori Cummings

The Knights are returning to the State football tournament after a tough one year absence. But they didn't sneak in this time like they did in 2007. This time, they are clearly the best team in their conference with a 7-0 record. They have earned the right to host a first round playoff game on Nov.6 against Blackfoot.

Blackfoot brings a 8-1 record to Nick Ysursa field. They punched their ticket to state by beating Century 17-3 on Oct. 30 at Holt Arena in Pocatello. Blackfoot's quarterback Anthony Clarke ripped apart Century's defense for 139 yards passing and 123 yards rushing. He will present a great threat to the Knights on Friday night.

"We've gotta contain him" commented three-year varsity football player senior Dominic Chumich. "…if we can keep him from doing as least he can possibly do we have a shot…he's pretty speedy… but we have three kids to every one of theirs that can compete."

With the shadow of the Coach Tim Brennan and ex-BK quarterback Cody Hawkins looming in the air for the past couple of years, it means a lot to the team to reclaim dominance in the 4A SIC conference and return to the playoffs.

"This year has been awesome, we have come together more than we have in the past…We knew we had the talent last year… we've seen it all four years that we have kids that can play so it's nice to think that we're in the playoffs and we have a shot at going to state." Chumich said.

The Knights are more than ready to take on the Blackfoot Broncos. Come out and support the Knights on Friday at 7 p.m. They will need all the support they can get as a new era starts at BK.
