SHORELINE — An opportunistic defense helped King’s win a 1A District 1 playoff game despite having its offense outgained by Lynden Christian 361 to 313 total yards. Each of four Lynden Christian turnovers gave the Knights a short field. Two of the key players for the King’s defense were senior defensive back Joseph Jaeger, who contributed two interceptions, and sophomore inside linebacker Chris Jenkins, who had 14 tackles. Offensively, the Knights were led by quarterback Thomas Vincent, who had 91 yards rushing to go with a 10-for-20, 163-yard, three-touchdown passing effort. The victory advanced King’s to the 1A Tri-district playoffs as the District 1 No. 3 seed. Lynden Christian was eliminated from playoff contention.
