Shockers Upset #3 Tri City Knights

May 10, 2008 Shelton, WA 

Coming off a loss where the Shockers blew a 17-point lead, South Sound looked to rebound and place themselves back in as a major factor in the EFL playoff race.  In stunning fashion, the Shockers dominated the heavily favored Tri City Knights 34-14 in a game the Shockers led 31-0 midway through the third quarter.

The Knights entered the game on a hot streak with QB Scott Biglin averaging over 400-yards per game through the air.  A week ago Biglin torched Bellingham for 7 TD's.   These were the same Bulldogs the 6th ranked Shockers struggled to defeat 12-6 behind the kicking of Pat Hutnik's 4 field goals.

However, this day the South Sounders brought a defensive answer to the Knights 50 aerial attacks, picking off 3 passes and holding Tri City to just over 200 yards through the air and 2 late touchdown passes.

Rory Lee got back into the rushing race with 109 yards and 2 TD's, while Bobby Poeltl and Bryan Hooper were on the receiving ends of Jacob Hicks passes.  Hutnik continues to lead the EFL kickers by putting 2 more field goals and 4 PAT's through the uprights.
