Friendship Passes Westlake and Prepares for Top Ranked Don Boscoe, Saturday October 12th

The Knights continued their highly successful season with a convincing win over Westlake of Waldorf Maryland by a score of 27-0.  Today's Washington Post noted Friendship's impressive defense which features All-Met Defensive Back Jalen Tabor. The Knights don't give up points easily.  Manatee, (National Rank 13) managed  Friendship's only loss, getting by with a score of 23-17.
The Knights are poised to break into a very elite group of nationally ranked programs. In the next four weeks, the Knights will play three teams who are or have recently  been in the national top 20.  (Don Boscoe, Bergen & Peramus).  Our chances are good! 
Don Boscoe and Bergen are vulnerable. The two most storied  programs in New Jersey suddenly have losing records. Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco fell to 1-2  last Saturday. The Bergen Game is set for October 19.  On November 2, the Knights  to take on Paramus. (USA Today National Rank No. 3).  High School Football does not get better than this. Today's Post calls the Don Boscoe game, "huge".
