Beavers Hold Knights In Tight Football Standoff
The Beaver defense finally stopped the Knights late in the game forcing a punt on fourth and seven. Burrows delivered a booming punt to the Franklin 23, aided by a Beaver roll, as the Knights failed to sustain drives with multiple penalties and a costly delay. Harrison’s interception of Blynt ended Beaver pressure, leaving the Knights to grind out clock and seal a final drive that left the Beavers in second division contention while the Knights eye a section title tilt against Titusville.
