MAPLE PARK – Unlike Kaneland’s first two games, there was little doubt about the outcome of Friday’s contest against Sterling.

The Knights scored early and often as they blanked the Golden Warriors, 42-0, in a Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference crossover game.

“Sterling has won their side of the conference for the last two years and we have won our side, so this was a big game for us to see how good we are,” Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said. “The kids made some mistakes (in the first two games) and took that to heart.”
