What a great start to Monday Night Games on EBC! Chakota vs Landor had it all, big plays, broken plays, injuries and comebacks!
Trailing 31-24 going into the fourth quarter, the pressure was on Elijah Brooks and the Knights’ attack to get going. Brooks and Mackenzie ran well and as the team put the ball in the playmakers hands to get the job done. It really paid off. Having struggled for three quarters, the Knights’ defence finally got some stops and put pressure on QB Billy Humphrey.
Brooks was 19 for 31 for 229 yards and two touchdowns, ran for 41 more. Mackenzie had 118 on the ground and two touchdowns.
For the visitors, Humphrey was 25 for 38 with 323 yards and three touchdowns.
