KNIGHTS FROM PAGE 1 10:10 in the third quarter. If this were a boxing match, the officials would have called a it TKO at halftime. Barnitz opened quickly for the nights, weaving out a 21-yard run just over two minutes into the contest, and wide out Dontae Hendricks took a 32-yard sweep in to score with 8.7 seconds left in the quarter. Retaking the helm at quarterback after two weeks out of favor, Coy Pettit welcomed himself back with a 20-yard flip over to Hendricks early in the second quarter. Meanwhile, Brooke did not achieve a first down until 5:24 in the second quarter, by that point already trailing 21-0. A 53-yard run by Thomas set up the senior back for a 1-yard touchdown run two plays later. Brooke botched a towering but short kickoff return that fell to the Knights, but penalties and a 12-yard loss by Hendricks boxed Midland into a 1st-and-32 with less than a minute left in the half. Barnitz took it upon himself to continue the onslaught, cashing in a 44-yard run for six with 45 seconds to go.

Photo by Jim Parsons To put it into perspective, Cabell Midland had more penalty yards at the half (85) than Brooke had offensive yards. Brooke did not curl up and die despite coming out of the locker
rooms trailing 34-0. The Bruins carved into Midland territory on the opening drive only to fumble into the endzone for a touchback at the Midland 1-yard line. Brooke finally put points up with 2:14 in the third only to have the extra point blocked and Pettit hitting Hendricks again from 54yards out less than a minute later. Brooke did manage 203 yards and two touchdowns through the air, one of which coming on a 70-yard bomb early in the fourth. On a more sour note for the Knights, they earned 16 flags and 135 yards in penalties despite the offensive madness. With the win, The Knights (82) secure home field advantage in the postseason. An opponent has not been announced. Kickoff will be at 7:30.
