Knights looking ahead after sixth-straight state title

ROYAL CITY — After winning their sixth straight 1A state championship last season, the Royal Knights (13-0) aren’t focused on the past – they're only looking to the future. “We look forward, and this year is going to be unique,” Head Coach Wiley Allred said. “The games will be different, and we're going to be better than we were a year ago if we can. We'll be a different team, a different group of guys, with a lot of the same faces, but not all of them. Mostly looking forward but keep the same standard and expectations as the previous year.” With each new season, each team brings some uniqueness for the season, Allred said. The Knights graduated a lot of players from last season like Shea Stevenson, Anderson Brown, Bryan Larson and Rolando Cedillo. However, they return players like Fischer Livingston, Dax Jenks and quarterback Grant Wardenaar.
