GATORS GET AFTER KNIGHTS, 16-0

Visiting Perry Hall handed Parkville its first shutout loss of the year, improving its chances at a playoff berth, and lowering the Knights.’

Brett Ullman kicked a 22-yard field goal as well as an extra point in the victory.

Perry Hall’s Nelson Knight, who has nine rushing touchdowns on the year, covered 131 yards on the
ground to raise his season rushing total to 958 yards.

The Gators rose to 7-1 overall, and, 6-1 in the league, dropping the Knights to 5-3 overall, 4-3, in
the league.

The loss was the third straight for the Knights, coupled with those against Hereford and Franklin over the previous two weeks.

The Gators entered the game trailing Linganore of Frederick County and North Carroll of Carroll County in the Class 4A North Region in the chase for one of the top seeds for the regional playoffs.

Linganore (8-0) defeated visiting North Carroll, 32-14, on Manday night, meaning the Gators may have gained ground on the losers.

	Parkville, meanwhile, dropped from fourth in the region to fifth behind Thomas Johnson (6-2) of Frederick County, which, on Monday, defeated Westminster, 32-0. The Knights, of fourth-year coach John Marquette, have made the playoffs each of the past three seasons, with their berth in 2004 being their first postseason appearance in school history. Defensively for the Gators, David King had two interceptions; Ryan Pittillo had a fumble recovery; and Cody Creed and Justin Sanders had sacks against the Knights, who were shut out for the first time this season. Parkville running back Ian Sadon was held to less than 40 rushing yards, according to Perry Hall’s records,  which also credited the Knights with a total of three first downs. Creed, Blair Frierson, Justin Sanders and Joe Esbrandt of Perry Hall controlled the line of scrimmage. The Gators’ offensive line was led by Brian Howell and Joe Lynch, giving Perry Hall six possesions inside 15-yard line. Stinebaugh’s TD total matched that of last season, raising his two-year totals to 28 for his career.
Perry Hall’s 6-foot-5, 200-pound Dave Stinebaugh , seen (above) making a reception in last week’s 33-0 rout of Kenwood, had six receptions for 123 yards and a 49-yard scoring catch from Mike Lang in Monday afternoon’s 16-0 shutout at Baltimore County 4A-3A League rival Parkville. Stinebaugh has 14 TDs on the year, and 28 over two seasons.
