SEATTLE – For the fourth consecutive season, the Royal Knights finished the season on top of the 1A classification on the gridiron.
No. 1 seed Royal defeated No. 2 Lakeside (Nine Mile Falls) 49-7 in Friday afternoon’s 1A State Football championship game in Seattle.
“Even in the crowd as kids, you’ll see it happen, and then when it’s your chance you don’t want to mess it up,” Royal junior Lance Allred said. “You put in all the work in the off-season and then you go and win it like this – it’s awesome.” .
ROYAL CITY – The Royal defense came up in big moments in the Knight’s 42-7 win over Othello on Friday night, intercepting four passes and sacking the quarterback twice.
Royal’s first interception of the night led to the Knights taking a 21-0 lead in the second quarter, and the second pick came as the Huskies were driving with the hope of cutting into the lead before the half.
