The WMS 7th & 8th Grade Football Knights took care of business Thursday evening down at Sellers Park. Their visiting counterparts from Haysville had no idea of the buzz saws they were about to encounter. Behind the cool, calm and collected hands of QB Cope Henry, the 7th grade KNIGHTS marched up and down the field with relative ease. Mekhi Haskin-Ybarra and Jakob Lira lit it up with numerous gainers behind a strong line and an obvious strong defense in the 42-00 win over the Haysville 7th graders.
