The Knights started out slow, but by halftime had the Buffaloes, well, “buffaloed.” Thanks to the hustle of Jordan Talbott, the Knights were able to shut down the Floyd game plan. Talbot scored 26 points. Andrew  Tucker, Patrick Bennett, John Bennett, JT Sandidge and Ethan Humprhries each rallied behind him and picked up the score. Humphries was hurt during the second quarter with a eyebrow cut that left the fans worried about his return. Thanks to the Athletic Trainer, Kim Kirk, Humphries returned in the second half.

James River fans and students turned out in force to cheer on the Knights. The sea of red and black was a welcome sight for the team. The Knights finished 23 points ahead of the Buffaloes and subs were liberally added to the last quarter of the game.

At half time Steve Austin who works stats and everything else for the sports teams for over three plus decades and a JRHS alumni, was presented the “Above and Beyond Award” by the coaching staffs of four sports.
