Knight Posts Huge Game in 48-13 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Deuce Knight stepped things up a notch to give George County the 'W'. Knight turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 219 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes, and also punching in a rushing score.
Long Beach had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Knight it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Knight saw the Bearcats), he threw for 134 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
