Knights Rally From Down 24

Last year, Kingsland football won a game, a big step after a string of winless seasons.  Big step two; a huge comeback win.  In a battle of 0-5 teams, Cotter led the Knights 30-6 in the second quarter.  Kingsland then scored 27 unanswered points!  Touchdown runs by Dallas Jones (47 yards) and Nick Ramaker (1 yard) made it 30-20 at halftime.  Jones’ third TD run made it 30-26 Cotter.  William Jahn hit Reid Kruegel for what proved to be the game-winning TD.  A Knight fumble recovery late on a punt return iced it.  Kingsland stopped Cotter thrice on 4th down in the second half.  They rallied on the road in memorable fashion, 33-30.  The junior Jones (16-104 yards, 3 TDs rushing) led the way.  Jahn (5-9, 122 yards, TD, INT passing) and Nick Ramaker (5-9, 91 yards passing, rushing TD) split the QB duties.  Kruegel (3-58, TD receiving), Lucas Howard (2-63 receiving), and Reed Merkel (2-43 receiving) made the catches. Cotter won 46-0 last season.  Brent Stinson’s group improves to 1-4, 1-5.
