Knights bounce back, defeat Wahluke 51-3

ROYAL CITY – It didn’t take long to see how Royal would bounce back since its first loss in nearly four years. The Knights, who defeated Wahluke 51-3 on Friday night, scored 23 points in the first five minutes of the first quarter en route to a dominant win. “We just wanted to refocus after (the loss),” Royal head coach WIley Allred said. “Just get back to working on improving and reset some of our habits. Whether we won or lost that game, we could see there were some areas of improvement needed.” Scoring opened with Royal senior quarterback Dylan Allred finding receiver Edgar Delarosa on a crossing route, where the senior receiver ran 43 yards to give the Knights a 7-0 lead following the extra point. “That set the tone pretty good – everybody got hyped after that,” Delarosa said. “It boosted energy.”
