The St. Thomas More Knights remain undefeated after a 35-0 win over the Seaquam Seahawks on Friday. The Knights are perfect in conference play and remain tied for first in the AAA Central Division with the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers.
The Knights continue to play winning football each week, pounding the rock and grinding down opponents' defences, while stifling opposing offences with creative designs up front as well as in the back end.
The Seahawks played hard all night, without their starting quarterback, Jaxon Shannon and star tailback Remy Grewal. Losing both playmakers made moving the ball all too difficult for Seaquam.
The Knights' defence took full advantage, led by Cristian Coletta's five tackles and an interception, as well as Anthony Donovan's five tackles and two sacks, on their way to a shutout.
The Knights' offence was mostly healthy and firing on all cylinders. Cristian Coletta led the Knights with 99 yards of total offence, most of which came in the first half, where he scored the 1st and final touchdowns of the game. One early on from one yard out and a 65-yard run on the opening drive of the second half to cap the scoring at 35.
Milano Peloso and Isaiah Smith also had rushing scores for the Knights, while Kingston Ram scored his first rushing touchdown of the season in the 2nd quarter.
The Knights now start preparation for a gruelling three-game stretch as they take on Lord Tweedsmuir, Centennial and New Westminster in the final weeks of the regular season.
