Knights to host John Hancock in region action

“John Hancock is a good football team,” said BCA offensive coordinator Lance Fendley. “They have some size, speed, and a veteran coach (Sid Kennedy). Defensively, they run an under front with three linebackers in the box. They try to force opponents to run outside. It will a good test for our offense which has a lot to prove.

One bright spot in last week’s contest was the play of the offensive line. Center Jared Martin, guards Austin Schwebel and Jacob Parker and tackles Griffin Wilson and Ben Morgan helped clear the way against David Emanuel.

Chandler Garmon had two touchdown passes to Niko Mailloux last week.

Defensively, Martin was praised for his play at nose tackle while Schewebel made several plays from his defensive tackle position.

“Defensively, we played pretty solid,” Garmon said. “They just got a couple of big plays on us.”

The Knights put as many as nine players in the box defensively had a “team effort” on that side of the ball, coaches said.

“We had a simple but a solid scheme,” Garmon said. “They just were able to make a couple of plays down the field.”
