Knights win, Knights, win, Knights win
Whaddaya know? Northern Nash is back in the victory column again. The Knights beat Southern Vance 20-15 Friday night for their first victory in the Chad Smith era. They didn’t do it easily. A pass interference set up a Marc McCadden touchdown catch with no time remaining for the Knights’ victory.
I reached Smith by cell phone Friday night. Smith said he might coach another 40 years and not win a game in the manner his team won against Southern Vance.
I’m sure Smith and his coaching staff saw this win coming. The team started playing well, oddly enough, in a 42-point loss to Hertford County. Last week the Knights nearly beat Bertie. They did not let an opportunity slide away from them Friday night.
Good for the Knights. This team needed a victory before NEW 6 Conference season begins in two weeks. Confidence means a lot to high school athletes. Maybe more wins will follow.
