KNIGHTS WIN CONFERENCE OPENER 10-0 IN SHORTENED GAME: 6-0-1 Overall, 1-0 Southern Piedmont Athletic Association (SPAA)
CONOVER- The Knights went to work early and made short work of Victory Christian Academy by connecting on 10 consecutive unanswered goals. Braden Runyon (4th minute) struck first and initiated an onslaught of goals by his teammates Gabe Walker (8th minute), Gabe Walker (11th minute), Garrison Mullis (15th minute), Garrison Mullis (30th minute), Aedan Arnot (32 minute), Gabe Walker (35th minute), Eli Simon (37th minute), Aiden Smith (38th minute) and Gabe Walker (39th minute) led a relentless offensive attack that left Victory Christian stunned and unable to find an answer.
Offensively the Knights were led by junior forward Gabe Walker with 4 goals, freshman Garrison Mullis 2 goals, freshman Braden Runyon 1 goal, junior Aedan Arnot 1 goal, senior Eli Sigmon 1 goal, and senior Aiden Smith 1 goal. Receiving credit for top honors in the assist category were junior Gabe Walker with 3 assists. Rounding out the assist column with one each were Braden Runyon, Jack Zaliagiris, Wyatt King, Chase Collins, Sawyer DelCharco, Dixon O'hair, and Braden Whitford.
Defensively the Knights held the visitors to just one shot on goal which was stopped by a heads up play by junior goalie Owen Duncan.
Coach Josh Walker notified the team during his post game speech that the Knights wrapped up the month of August with 6 wins, no losses and 1 tie giving the Knights the schools first undefeated opening month of the season since 2008, 10 years in the making. Now that's quite an accomplishment!
Receiving the Knights Battle Ball, a Hickory Christian Academy tradition recognizing the player(s) that show the best overall effort were Garrison Mullis and Wyatt King. Both players were in sync together on the offensive front line, working the ball into the open areas, possessing and distributing and aggressively attacking the goal. The future for these two freshman looks bright as they will continue to solidify an already formidable attack for years to come.
The Knights next contest is after the labor day break, returning to action on Thursday, September 7th @ 4:00 as they travel to Woodlawn School.
