ONA, W.Va. — The Northside Automotive Game of the Week in Class AAA ended up as a 28-point win for No. 4 Cabell Midland (8-1) — the Knights beat rival No. 7 Spring Valley (7-2) 42-14. Cabell Midland scored the final three touchdowns of the second half to pull away for the win.
Cabell Midland running back Alex Childers finished with 170 yards on the ground in the win, eclipsing the 1,400 yard mark on the season. He scored one rushing touchdown added another receiving score for the Knights. Caperton Humphrey added 94 yards on the ground and three touchdowns as well in the win.
“We played really good in the second half,” said Cabell Midland coach Luke Salmons. “I thought Alex Childers did great and he does every week. He’s a tough kid and a hard runner – he leads by example.
“Our defense did a really good job against the run,” Salmons continued. “Their quarterback is a good player and he made plays, but we were physical and I thought everyone did a nice job defensively for us.”
