Jeff Davis\u2019 squad has turned in many impressive defensive efforts throughout the season, but Tuesday\u2019s performance against Knott Central might take the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Patriots entered the game with a 21-7 record, they left with a 21-point loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South Laurel held Knott Central to its lowest scoring output of the season during its 47-26 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cardinals have now held their opponents to less than 50 points for the sixth consecutive game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just how stingy was South Laurel\u2019s defensive play? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cardinals held the Patriots to only three points in the first quarter, and 10 points at halftime while holding a 21-10 advantage. They led 35-14 entering the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
