Mount View:
The Mount View Golden Knights are now 8-1 after picking up a 42-6 win over the Fayetteville Pirates. The Golden Knights, who were ranked #1 in the 1A WVSSAC rankings for the majority of the season, are currently in a second place tie with 9-0 Midland Trail. It will be “Senior Knight” for Coach Larry Thompson’s team when the Cavaliers from Charmco come to town. The Knights have been without their senior leader Elijah Barner the last three games as he has been held out with a leg injury, but players such as Jesse Rose, Terry Headen, Ty Powell, Micah McLaughlin and Marqus Ray have stepped up in Barner’s absence. In the win over Fayetteville, Ty Powell led the Knights with 240 yards on the ground and two scores while Terry Headen finished with 112 yards and score. Marqus Ray chipped in 27 yards and a rushing touchdown and quarterback Jesse Rose threw a touchdown pass to Matt Thompson. Kamal Collins was the leader on defense for the Golden Knights with 10 tackles and a sack.
