Terrific comeback by Knox Central. I wasn't able to follow this game until late in the 4th, but I believe KC trailed 20-6 at the half and 27-12 in the 3rd qtr. Knox Central tied the game at 36 with 1:01 left and for some reason chose to go for two. They didn't make it and game went to OT. KC got the ball first and Canady scored on the first play. This time the 2 pt conversion was good. KC then got an int on MC's second play.

Even bigger comeback than I thought. Just found this box score:

Quotes from the Richmond Register:

 

“We got on them pretty good at halftime and they responded,” Knox Central coach Scott Russell said. “I think the biggest thing was that we needed to get a couple of stops and then the offense started clicking.”

 

They shoved it right down our throat,” Browne said. “They took it right down the field at will.”

 

“I knew we were hitting them and I could tell some of them were feeling it,” Russell said. “It looked like they were getting a little tired.”

 

“It’s just depressing to lose a football game like that,” Central coach Bert Browne said.

Madison Central will lose in the first round of the playoffs, unless these coaches make their kids forget this one. Madison Central may be one of the most dissappointing teams in the state on a consistent level. Every year they have talent and every year they lose games they should win at the end of almost every season.
