The King's Knights are headed away from home for the first time to challenge the Cascade Christian Cougars at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
King's is leaving town to face Cascade Christian after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. King's came up short against Orting on Friday, falling 34-14.
Meanwhile, Cascade Christian had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell to Eatonville 34-28.
Despite the loss, Cascade Christian got top-tier performance from Grant Johnson, who threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 127 yards on only nine carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in total yards. 105 of those passing yards were hauled in by Chace Jenkins, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.
Cascade Christian's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Jenkins, Josiah Laurence, and Johnson picked up one apiece.
King's skirted past Cascade Christian 15-13 in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for King's since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
