Article: "Midget Knights win opener 16-6 against Nouvelles Frontieres"

Kanata Kourier-Standard - The midget Kanata Knights held their home opener on Sept. 6 in front of a packed home crowd at Robert Barr Football Field.

The Knights started off slowly in the first half allowing the Frontieres to score.

However, a determined defense, led by linebackers Sebby Mordak and Eric Ricci, DL Jasmin Dervisevic and two-way powerhouse player Nick Krzaniak, who plays both defensive back and quarterback, helped keep the score close with the Knights trailing by just 6 after the half.

Early in the third quarter, the game shifted momentum and the Knights took control.

The pounding running game of Chris Bumstead, and Brandon Farquharson put quarterback Matt Duffy in scoring position where he punched in two touchdowns and Jared Blair converted both points after touchdowns.

Evan Yourth led the receiving core with three catches for 43 yards.

Matt Duffy was also a key factor on special teams with two kick returns for 73 yards.

The defence stood strong and shut out the Frontieres for the remainder of the game. Nick Krzaniak led the defence with three interceptions, a batted ball and two assisted tackles.

Sebby Mordak was a beast recording six solo tackles and five assisted plus put the game out of reach with a safety in the forth. Julien Smit continues to be a quarterback's worst nightmare with two sacks and rookie defensive linesman Sheldon McRae recovered a fumble.
