Mount View:

Coach Larry Thompson’s team faced major adversity in their matchup last Friday vs. Tolsia when they found themselves in a scoreless contest at the half. The Golden Knights used a second half touchdown pass from Jesse Rose to Malik Cowans to go up 6-0, which proved to be the final score. Mount View had a tremendous defensive effort, holding the Rebels to -12 yards until the last drive of the game. Mount View was led on the ground by Ty Powell who finished with 70 yards. On the defensive side of the ball, Powell had nine tackles, three tackles for loss and a fumble recovery.
