“It wasn’t a very good game for us,” Stanwood coach Eric Keizer said. “You can’t come in on Friday night and turn the light switch on, and that’s what we tried to do. It was a struggle for us the whole game, and we shot ourselves in the foot with mistake after mistake. You have to prepare every week like it’s a playoff week. We’ll spend our two days of practice getting refocused on playing our style on both sides of the ball.”
Chase Root caught a 31-yard touchdown pass from Brennon Blevins in the second quarter to account for King’s lone touchdown. The Knights finished the regular season 3-6.
