Knight Came Up Big in George County's 48-13 Victory
Deuce Knight was a major factor in George County's win over Long Beach on Friday. 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.
Knight must have Long Beach's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Knight threw for 134 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground the last time he and the Bearcats duked it out back in October of 2023.
