The Siskiyou Knights Unlimited Pop Warner Youth Football Team finished the season strong with a convincing win over the Raiders from Lost River 51–6. The Unlimited Knights outscored their opponents in the last three games 125–18. Coach Glenn Gonzales credits this to, “the development of the players both mentally and physically the second half of the season.”

The Pee Wee Knights started their game strong Saturday, but the Hawks proved to be too much for a second week in a row, beating the Knight’s 37 19. Coach Darren Lonnon gives a great deal of praise to this team, “they are a very young team and grew tremendously as the season progressed.”

Both the Unlimited team and the Pee Wees finished their seasons with records of 4–4.

President Craig Kay stated, “We are very happy with the growth of the kids and the program, this is our second year in the Klamath County Pop Warner program and have found our home in this new league. Our program is designed to focus on building character in these boys as well as promoting scholastics with good grades and we succeeded in both.” (more…)

The Siskiyou Knights Unlimited team traveled to Henley, Oregon to face the Stingers in a playoff game to settle 3rd and 4th place. The Knights fell short as the Stingers won 26–6. The Knights saw very little offense due to successful on-side kicking by the Stingers.

The Unlimited team finished the season in fourth place, at 4-4. This is quite an accomplishment for a first year team in a new league. The Knights seem to have found a home in the Klamath Falls Pop Warner Football League and look forward to many more seasons with great anticipation for great success.

Last Saturday was an exciting day for Siskiyou Pop Warner, as both the Unlimited and PeeWee teams won on their home field at Weed High School.

The Unlimited team once again stepped up in the fourth quarter to earn their second victory. The first half featured a steady 6-minute opening drive for 6 points. There were also two kickoff returns for touchdowns. The Knights went into the half ahead by two, the difference being a two-point kick.

Play slowed in the third quarter, as it was a battle for yards with neither team scoring. In the fourth quarter, with two minutes on the clock and the Henley Hornets driving, the Knights defense coached by Mike Deflaco and Art Catrow, made the adjustments to the passing defense that resulted in two late fourth quarter interception touchdowns, which sealed the victory 32-18.

The Siskiyou Knights traveled to Willows on Saturday to take on the Coyotes. The first two games were in the morning where fans were treated to football played by six through nine year olds. The Mighty Mite and Junior Pee Wee levels are truly instructional but very exciting to watch as these Knights continue to learn the game.

Things began to heat up in the afternoon—both the football and temperature. The Pee Wee game was a hard fought defensive battle. Both sides held each other scoreless throughout most of the game and you knew it was going to come down to the end. The Knights fell short 6-0 when Willows scored the only points of the game with 1:10 left to play. (more…)
