Black Knights Sports Roundup

Randy Malak and Sam Berkun

Stamford High School kicked off a weekend full of sports with a football team win versus Brien McMahon’s Senators. Friday night’s match up under the lights proved to be a nail-biter; truly an intense game that ended in an extraordinary fashion. After a touchdown with approximately 40 seconds left in the game, the Senators were stopped short of the goal line on a two-point attempt. This crucial stop in the game led to the Black Knights’ 20-18 victory, and improved their record to 3-1 on the season.  The team will have a two week window in which they will prepare for their match up against undefeated Staples High School.img_8886
