Wardlaw Academy had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They lost 44-22 to the King Academy Knights on Friday. The Patriots were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Knights apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in October of 2024.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead King Academy to victory, but perhaps none more so than Joseph Morse, who rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. Morse's longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Elijah Hutto was another key passer, throwing for 103 yards and a pair of TDs on only five passes.
