Knights Tie Previous Record Even though the 1975 football season was nothing to be proud of, the future looks bright with a large amount of un- derclass talent. The team repeated last year's record ending up 1-9, with a lone win over Youngstown North. A victory in the crucial first game with Wadsworth could have made a big dif- ference in the way the season turned out. However, a confident Knight team lost a close game in what could be called the worst conditions possible. Un- daunted, the team played it's next two games, with Canton Central Catholic and Stow. They were much better, al- most gaining come-from-behind vic- tories in both. ln each case, though, the Knights were stopped short in the final seconds. The next three games, with Falls, Walsh, and Barberton, proved to be big disappointments. The Knights were shut out by both Falls and Walsh, as the offense sputtered off and on ineffec- tively. ln the next game with Barberton, the Knights started our strong, moving the football down the field to score twice early in the game. In what may have been their best performance of the season, the team gave the Magics quite a scare. The offensive line did a fine job holding the widely acclaimed Barberton defensive line. Halfway through the game, however, the Magics stiffened up and came back to win. A much-improved Lorain Southview team barely managed to defeat the Knights, scoring in the rain with only 26 seconds left to play. The next game with Fairless proved to be much tougher than expected, as the freezing cold and the Falcons combined to beat the Knights. The only win of the season came against Youngstown North, as the team pulled together to play a fine game. The de- fense stifled a quick Youngstown attack, and the offense began to gain yards consistently. In the season finale, the Knights found themselves unable to stop the St. Vincent-St. Mary pow- 99
