Another Close Battle

The 4-1 Buckingham County Youth League Minors teams have won three straight games and a forfeit game because Cumberland didn't field a Minors team this year. The only loss was against the PEFYA Eagles Minors the first game of the season at Gene Dixon Park. In that game the young Knights fell 0-6 in a heart felt loss to start the season. How was this game going to play out after the weeks of practice to get ready.

The game started off with both teams stepping up on defense. Even though it look as if the Knights was moving the ball at times, the Eagles would tighten up on the "D" to take over on downs. The Knights had a long TD run called back because a penalty and the Eagles defense got the ball back to keep the score 0-0.

Late in the 4th quarter the Eagles scored and converted on the 1 point PAT to take a 7-0 lead late in the game. But the Knights rallied back with a long run TD run of their own with the clock running out of the game. The only thing left was to convert on the PAT. The Knights elected to win the game by going for the 2 points instead of the 1 point to tie the game and play in overtime. The kick fell short and the Knights ended taking the 6-7 loss to the Eagles.

Its the socks that makes him run real fast.

The next game for the BCYL Minors will be Oct. 8, 2016 as the Knights will host the Charlotte County Patriots at Gene Dixon Park. Check listings for game time.
