Knights Coach Kraig Hunter said, “Morris and Jackson played very well today. There is no margin for error playing a team with that much talent.  We did some good things early that we were so close to capitalizing on but if you don’t they are a tough team to play catch-up with.”

“This season has been an unbelievably enjoyable experience every step of the way, with a great group of young men. I am sad it’s over but I can’t stop thinking about how grateful I am for everything we were able to do together with this team, our great assistant coaches, awesome fans and such a supportive group of parents.”

“We told them before the season that this was a new year and it was their turn to make their impact on the program. Boy did they ever make an impact. They were relentless workers and played unselfish basketball. They won a conference championship, they won 22 games and in the playoffs they had to move up to Class AA and they made it to the championship game.  They are a special group of young men and a special team.”

“They were led by two seniors who were the best mentors for our team.  Tyler Biss and Ryder Staples are as good of people as you’ll find.  We thank them both for the impactful contributions they made to our basketball program.”

The scoring breakdown for the Knights was Cam Anderson with 14 points, Cole Anderson 10 points, Jacob Strunk 10 points, Ryder Staples 5 points, Nas Dotts 4 points, Bryce Kjesbo 3, Mitch Dewey 2, and Ben Bye with 1.
