The 8th grade Knights returned to the hardwood to open the 26/27 campaign at Wainwright. It was a sluggish offensive performance to say the least. A cold shooting Knights against the pesky Mustangs' zone made for a hotly contested opener. In the end, the Knights defense was able to save the day 29 to 26. Drew Heath led the offense with 11 points. Jackson Weaver and Mikey Rotar each chipped in 6 points. The B game saw the Knights fall into a 15 to 4 hole. Beckett White's 3 third quarter 3 pointers helped revive the Knights as they fought all the way back for a 26 23 victory. Beckett White led the way with 11 points. Aiden Boutelle had 7 points and Eli Herron chipped in 5 for the Knights. The Knights return to action on Thursday when they travel to Klondike.
