With the Knights holding a 10-6 lead late in the third quarter, Charlie Velling of Cascade Christian burst through the line for a 64-yard touchdown run to give his team the lead for good. Velling ended the game with 125 yards on 18 carries.
King’s was led by Spencer Clark (94 yards, 23 carries) and quarterback Greg Uhrich, who was 7-for-14 passing for 79 yards and a touchdown.
“We (King’s) were in Cascade Christian territory most of the second half, but their defense was good tonight and stopped us.” Roach said.
