Last night, the Sycamore Knights football team ventured into to Bearcat territory for the last game of their season.


After a 36-14 victory over their Cheatham rivals in the Battle of the Creek, the Knights celebrated the coveted tire staying at Sycamore Middle. It was their first win of the season.


In a standout performance, eighth-grade tailback Hicks Hunter delivered the Knights four touchdowns and nearly 200 yards rushing. Wyatt Garner (8th) added to the Knights' high score with a touchdown and three two-point conversions. Fellow eighth-grader, Landen Hindman, also had an explosive 30-yard run at the start of the second half.
