Georgia were great parents. I mainstreamed myself back to Richard’s senior year in high school. He represents a pointed moment in my life. I remember him giving me a chance; actually, I can’t remember what I never forgot.

Knights send Middletown to 0-6 in last 6 title games
December 19, 2020
DOVER, De- Sussex Central head football coach John Wells was 0-4 in state championship games–before his 2018 squad broke thru. On Saturday, he became 2-0 in the last three years, when the Golden Knights defeated Middletown 28-19.
The Golden Knights led 7-0 after the first half, with the lone points of the game coming on a Dion Stephens 3-yard touchdown. After forcing two key turnovers in the first half, Jacob Dempsey and the SC defense went back to work in the second.
Although Middletown would tie the game 7-7 midway thru the 3rd quarter–the Golden Knight defense came up huge a few times to help the offense. Alton Dennis would come up with a huge interception that set up Central in the red zone. Stephens would cap off his second score, putting Central back up 14-7 with 1:58 in the third quarter.

That was way harsh because Cape had a legit shot to bring home the first state title since 1973. “They wanted to play at The Bob,” coach Pat Woods said. “They were so upset they never got the chance.” Gone from that team are
