Knights fans won’t soon forget this year’s team and the creative ways they showed their solidarity.  The team came together on the field and earned the District 6-2A Championship with a 6-2 win versus Dunham. With that, the Knights earned a spot in the state playoffs, and the team traveled north to take on Calvary Baptist.
