Chiefs Stomp the Cowboys: 32-0

Battling 100 plus degree weather, the Chiefs rolled into Cleveland H.S. with a purpose: to put to rest the myth that they squeaked by the Cowboys(Grey) squad in a pre-season scrimmage earlier in this month at Taft H.S.

Although the Chiefs came out a bit flat, and turned the ball over twice in the first half, they managed to rebound and take a 20 - 0 lead going into the half. Bookie redeemed himself quickly after fumbling on the first play from scrimmage by intercepting a deflected pass just two plays laters and returning it for 6 to open up the scoring. The Chiefs defense stuffed the Cowboys time and again, and began to move the ball themselves by ground and air. The ground game was dominant behind Cameron's powerful North/South running, and Bookie's slashing cutback runs. Coach Anderson wanted to experiment with the passing game more today and he had success on several calls as Casey connected with Mateen, Bookie, and Cameron for long touchdown passes, and Mateen again on an extra point conversion. JD punched one in on the ground to represent the running backs.

Defensively, the Chiefs were sound as they have been all season. JD had a huge day debuting at D-End, Julian brought hat at Middle Backer, as Jauq, Casey, Bookie, and Mateen all had fine efforts resulting in several tackles for losses. Sekou showed promise at Free Safety and had a touchdown saving tackle on the kickoff team. Anaye showed quickness at the D-Tackle position, and both Cruz and Ian saw there first game time of the season working in on the Defensive line rotation.

The Chiefs took the opening kickoff and put together a methodical 8 play drive on the ground punctuated by a Cameron touchdown run. Casey was sacked on the XP attempt as the Chiefs stood pat with a 6-0 lead. On the ensuing drive, the Knights held the ball for 15 plays and drove to Chief 1 foot line before were derailed by penalties and a defense that stepped up and shut them down on 4th and goal from the 8 yd line. The game then turned into a defensive struggle as both teams exchanged solid defensive series. With 1:30 left in the half, good field position, and a 6-0 lead the Chiefs took a kill shot - and it nearly backfired. Casey's long corner pass to Bookie was intercepted and returned deep into Chief territory seeemingly for 6 until DJ McDonald was chased down and tackled from behind by Cameron. The defense held on as the Chiefs went into the half with a 6-0 lead, and a lot of confidence in their ability th move the ball on the Knights.

The second half was all Chatsworth as the offensive line led by Jesse and Julian just pounded the Knights opening up running lanes for Cameron (2 tds), Bookie (2tds), and Jauq to run through. The Defense bent but never broke, and turned the Knights over in the second half as well on a fumble the was recovered by Cameron and returned into Knight territory. Special teams play was strong once again as Casey recovered a downfield kickoff after the Chiefs fourth touchdown. The offense then ran out the clock to close out the game.
