Game 1; BCYL Varisty Knights vs the Lunenburg Lightning

The BCYL Varsity Knights squared off against the Lunenburg Lightning Varsity football team. Like always the Lightning winning the toss, elected to kick-off to the Knights. Like always...here comes the On-side Kick. Like always they recover and started the game with an impressive running attack. The Knights played the Lightning really tough, but caused a lot of pentalty that allowed the Lightning to score quick in the 1st half and ending the half down 14-0. 

The Lightning scored again in the 3rd period and the Knights started to look like they could come back. With the running clock against them, the Knights scored late in the 4th period ending the game with a 21-6 loss.

The BCYL Knights look to bounce back as they travel to play the new team in the James River Southside Youth Football League, the Camp25 from Southampton, VA.

Coaches after a 21-6 loss to the Lunenburg lightning bring the team together.
