However, the Rams took control of the second quarter notching 20 points of their own while limiting the Knights putting a miniscule six. At halftime, the Rams were up 34-30.

After halftime the Rams kicked into high gear and put yet even more points on the board only missing only a two-point conversion to take a tremendous lead of 60-30.

In the final frame, the Rams were the ones who didn’t score, however, they did manage to limit the Knight’s offense to 14 points to secure a 60-44 win.

“We just got lazy and instead of forty-fiving them we let them score 14 points,” said junior Kohl Zgarba.

Senior Josh Lyerla rushed for a total of 315 yards with 94 passing yards from 5 completed passes and 10.5 tackles. Meanwhile, senior Ian Johnson rushed for a total of 42 yards with 2 tackles and Dillan Swift, a sophomore had an impressive 9 tackles.

“We played well but not our best. Yes we beat them but we should’ve slaughtered them,” said head coach Chris George.
