Cave Spring Rebounds With 33-7 Romp Over Patrick Henry

Cave Spring running back #11 Michael Cole breaks to the outside as Patriot defender #7 Melik Green looks for the tackle.

Cave Spring is back. Make no mistake about it. Only a week after its disappointing loss to cross-town rival Northside, the Knights put on a clinic Friday night with a 33-7 pounding of AAA Patrick Henry at Dwight Bogle Stadium. The game wasn’t as close as the score may indicate.

Cave Spring dominated on both sides of the ball as the Knight defense held Patrick Henry to 97 yards rushing and a paltry 8 yards in the air. Meanwhile, Cave Spring ran for 245 yards and Cave Spring quarterback Josh Woodrum spread the field, finding seven different receivers for 212 yards in the air. The Knights’s control of the game was best shown by first downs, where Cave Spring amassed 25 while Patrick Henry could only muster 4, two of which came in the waning minutes.

Cave Spring (3-1) was led on the ground by Michael Cole’s 103 yards on 10 carries, while Sam Wright added 92 yards on a workmanlike 26 totes. Adam Anderson led the Knight receiving corps with 9 catches for 92 yards on top of two TD runs. Patrick Henry was led on the ground by quarterback Zach Cochran ( 26 yards on 11 carries) and David Prince (38 yards on 3 carries).

Cave Spring broke away from a 7-7 second quarter tie for two unanswered touchdowns to take a 19-7 lead to the locker room at halftime. The Knights pulled away in the second half as the tough Cave Spring defense held the Patriots (2-2)  scoreless. Cave Spring travels to Low Moor Friday night (Sept. 24th) to take on undefeated Alleghany County; Patrick Henry looks to rebound at home against Blacksburg.
