In their home opener the Knight's methodically dismantled the Haverhill Hillies.
1st Quarter
AJ Doyle connected with Joey McCarthy on a screen pass, after reversing the field McCarthy worked his way to a 39 yard gain. AJ and Joey would hookup again later that drive on a beautifully lead 25 yard touchdown pass.
2nd Quarter
In the second quarter, the Hillies got in the end zone for their first and only TD. Their questionable two point conversion attempt was stuffed. The rest of the second half was highlighted by the defensive lineman Keshaudas Spence. He delivered crushing hits, one after another (including 2 sacks in a row) until the first half came to a close.
3rd Quarter
On the first play of the second half Armani Reeves brought back a kickoff for a 90 yard touchdown. This was just the beginning of the disaster that was about to ensue over Haverhill. Later in the third quarter AJ Doyle ran in a 16 yard quarterback keeper for a touchdown.
4th Quarter
After a long drive by Haverhill the Knights took any hope the Hillies had left when Donald Bland recovered a fumble in the end zone. Another screen pass, this time to Lorenzo Warren, set up another scoring threat for the Knights. Once again AJ Doyle hit Joey McCarthy for the Knights final touchdown. The Hillies made one final attempt to stay alive but John Filippides put an end to that when he recorded his first interception of the season.
Between the Knights first two games their defense has let up a total of six points. And the six was scored on possibly the luckiest catch ever. It's far too early to start talking about the state tournament but if the defense can keep this up with any kind of consistency then CM has as good of a shot at the title as anyone. Next week the Knights will try to keep their winning streak alive as they take on Hartford at home.
