Knights Football Win at Bluefield

Bluefield, VA – The Kentucky Christian University football team traveled to Bluefield College this afternoon to take on the Rams. This is the second meeting of the two teams this season and given the result of the first contest, BC looked primed to seek revenge. Unfortunately for the home fans, the result wasn't much different as KCU on by a 31-7 score.

• Dae'vontay Latimer (SO/Dayton, OH) led the ground game with 91 rushing yards on 20 carries and a log of 19-yds, while Tyrese Christian (FR/Chicago, IL) was just behind him with 87 yards on 21 carries.
