Knight C-team slips past Moose

PALMER -- The Colony Knights came from behind to beat the Palmer Moose 16-14 in C-team action at Palmer High School Tuesday.

On the first play from scrimmage in the second half, Clay Gangstead rumbled for an 81-yard touchdown for the Knights to cut the Palmer lead to 8-6.

Gangstead went off the right side and out-ran a barrage of Palmer defenders en route to his score.

The Moose quickly rebounded, scoring on the ensuing drive. Running back Alex Rhodes capped off a 10-play Palmer drive with a three-yard touchdown run.

Scott Beckman booted a 26-yard field goal for the Knights late in the third quarter to tighten the Palmer lead to 14-9.

On the following drive, Colony's Chirs Walsh recovered a fumble to give the ball back to the Knights. The Knights rode a steady running game to drive down the field. Kyle Coffman scored the go-ahead touchdown for the Knights.

Palmer first got on the board late in the first half. Rhodes found Levi Kincaid in the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 13 seconds remaining in the second quarter.

Kincaid caught the touchdown score in between a triangle of Knight defenders.

Eddie Stanley led the Moose with 84 yards on 20 carries.
