Good Sportsmanship - From Knights Notes 10/19/14
The referee from
the King Academy football game last week called the Soquel
Administration to complement our entire football team for being genuine
men with good leadership, maturity and enthusiasm despite losing to a
larger physical team. He also noted that the Center, Brett Mayfield and
the Defensive Left Tackle #76 Sam Bardwell were especially noteworthy.
Congratulations go out to the team and their coaches, including their
head coach, Brad Tompkins for their good sportsmanship.
