Defensive Effort

The first score didn’t come until 3:47 left in the second quarter Lone Peak found the end zone when Siale Tahi ran it in from one-yard out.

The Knights were able to get a field goal just before the halftime break with a 10-0 lead.

Timpview fumbled the ball to start the second half but Lone Peak couldn’t convert. On the following possession, the Thunderbirds turned the ball over again and this time the Knights capitalized with a one-yard rushing touchdown from Tahi to take a 17-0 lead midway through the third quarter.

Timpview had a chance to get on the scoreboard when highly-touted recruit Logan Fano intercepted the ball and returned it for a touchdown but the TD was called back but the interception remained. But, that drive didn’t turn into any points.

Tahi put the game away in the fourth quarter with a three-yard touchdown from Tahi. That gave the Knights a 24-0 lead.

Tahi finished with all three of the Knights’ touchdowns.
